there was some gotcha to prevent people from being unsubscribed by

Unfortunately there seems none. Any group owner can approve my id on
my "friend's" request. This is ridiculous.
( Especially After the spamza.com where you get your "friend's"
subscribed into 1000's of unconfirmed opt-ins ... Yahoo should do better
than that )
Not quite true.
One cannot unsubscribe others from YG email lists, unless you are the
owner of the YG list in question.
A Group owner /can/ directly add people to their own list, limited to
50/100 per day. That circumvents the usual Opt-in procedure.
However, if you have a Yahoogroups account you can set your own
preferences to prevent YG from directly adding your address to email
lists in this manner.
So if your 'friend' wrote to a list owner telling them to add you to
their list they could do so unless your own YG profile specified
otherwise.
