Well, its worth remembering that Nominet do some checks before accepting a transfer, and the transfer still has to be signed by the registrant (as listed in the "for" field that the tag-holder can't change). So there is some protection for .uk registrants in these sorts of cases, as even if someone has pursuaded your tag-holder to 'push' the tag over to someone else, the domain name still is listed in your name and they will have to trick Nominet too to change that.
