I don't see anything inherently malicious about that domain. It's just another URL shortener that could have been used to redirect to some malicious site and therefore ended up listed in a phishing list.

It's flagged by multiple security vendors for phishing. While yes abuse is probably one reason it's on there another one is most likely because it's ripping off Bitly's name, and is going to be considered phishing.
