Spammers using Google Groups beta

Filed in: Spam.

I was sifting through the spam comments which my protective measures had stopped, and found to my surprise I was getting spammed with google.com URLs. It looks like there's a security hole in Google Groups beta which allows users to upload files containing Javascript redirects. Observe the following URL:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/pharmed/

When I tried to report this through the abuse form Google have set up, I got the following error:
The following errors need to be corrected:
• Sorry, we are unable to find the message you specified.

I've sent them a message through the contact form, but had no response, or apparently any action taken so far...
