Well, in my opinion it's more stupidity since
they don't have a clue as to why Harry is
affected, but yes, it would be cheating.  Even
though they weren't in the game itself, they
still had a vested interest in the outcome of the
game and an injury to the player could perhaps be
severe enough to keep that player out of a game
against them, especially since they know the last
time Harry fell off his broom.  

Another example of what I would consider
Slytherins cheating is when Harry can't walk to
class without Slytherins sticking out their legs
trying to trip him.  (PoA, p. 222, UK)  While it
doesn't say which Slytherins, this implies that
there are a whole bunch of them doing it.
