I've suspected that often as well, although the answer everyone gives anywhere you ask is that an inbound link can never hurt you (as they say that sabotage would be too easy)
so if what you are saying is true, all we need to sabotage some of our mainstream keyword competitors is to fire up some nasty porn splogs and link to the mainstream sites
come to think of it, for a mainstream site of mine that is getting terrible indexing from google that is unproportionally bad compared to other similar sites of mine.... I found that many backlinks I had to that site were coming from some message board spambots that had picked up my url and added it into a long list of urls that they were spamming with
