It could well be, it could also be people using the new 'report a site selling links' form that G introduced a few months back.
From my experience, Google dislike Directories, especially popular directories... they usually get PR0 or deindexed so It nothing new or unexpected.

The trick is never have a directory that is popular enough to attract G's attention.
