Sure. These helpful antispam soldiers should also know that, regardless
of whether domains are munged or not (SURBL is just one aspect of most
comprehensive filters), that other spammy list messages might wind up in
their spam filter just as quickly.

In general, folks (especially smart helpful ones) should already be
aware that, if they (or their ISP) filter spam related list mail,
they're eventually going to FILTER SPAM RELATED LIST MAIL. ;-)

I'm advocating making our job easier. We don't send example spams with
munged headers and spam phrases, because it just shovels more work on
the sender and the recipients to de-munge everything. Why bother with
domains?
