An affiliate relationship of this type has to be built on trust. An enormous number of MFA/arbitrage sites have sprung up around AdSense, and they're probably all rubbing their hands in anticipation of gaming the system in whole new ways. I sure don't trust them to act ethically.

Easily said, but not easily done. If the A in the PPA means a sale, they only way to game the system would be to buy stuff through fraudulent means. If somebody is that crooked, publishing a website would just be extra work for them.

I'd be happy to see the system move to PPA. I don't know whether or not we'd benefit or lose with Adsense, but it would tempt me back into using Adwords for the first time in years.
