You bring up another good point, how long before the spammers find a way to take advantage of the List feature? Great ideas about letting you opt-out of being on any given list, but Twitter has never been preemptive in introducing features, and I''m afraid it will take a major incident, probably involving a national brand or celebrity to get something like that implemented.

And I wouldn't quote this is it wasn't so appropriate; "With great power comes great responsibility". In order to avoid and counter the misguided actions of those who choose to do harm, Twitter should give users the ability to remove their username from a list. Even allow them to report the list as spam - just as they would a user tweeting meaningless sales links. You make a very valid point and it’s not a matter of “if” as it is “when”.
