I don't quite get it - is this some weird hack people do to get their domains in to whois listings for other companies?

Is this just whois spam, or is there something more going on?

no, it's not. That's a digest response. You need to redo the lookup as =yahoo.com to get their record:

#whois =yahoo.com

(scroll to bottom for yahoo.com listing)

Thanks. Just very odd - hadn't ever seen a whois record that looked like that. :/
