There are quite a few breeds that are in serious trouble, and anything that may compromise the health of the breed should be seen as a threat. We really don't know enough about the parti gene yet. I don't think they are a threat to YTCA in the way you are implying. It is very easy to breed the parti color, much easier than trying to obtain the right shade of blue, if YTCA members were only concerned about selling dogs and not protecting the breed, they could easily add the parti gene to their lines. It's so much easier to add a recessive trait than remove it.
