Here's the thing as I understand it based on what I know the hack does.
By "getting free stuff from PSN."
They don't mean LITERALLY from the PSN servers. They mean you can get stuff that's on PSN for free, by downloading it online from other servers and tricking your PSN into authenticating it. So it's no different from any other piracy.
By "framing others" what they mean is, you can change your console ID to get out of Console bans, and you could probably change your PSN ID to read as someone elses PSN ID framing others.
So that means Console and PSN ID bans should be eliminated and instead replaced with IP bans... which bans your internet connection. So you can't connect to PSN from your house... so the worst you could do with that is go to a friends house and get them banned, or steal someones unprotected wi-fi and get them banned as well.

It sounds like the ideal way of dealing with it, but what's your take on the rumor of their ability to also unban themselves?

I'd say it has to do with ID impersonation. Because Sony are only banning by PS3 ID, people can get around it by simply supplying a different ID. It's the same way why they say they can ban others, by impersonating another PS3s ID and getting that banned too.
Sony put too much faith in the credentials of the client side identification. They need another effective tier of security between the PS3 and PSN.
