I've got to say I wasn't familiar with the research on EE. But it doesn't surprise me. Though from what I understand of the paper it seems the risks do reduce significantly when dissolved sublingually.
The problems mostly seem to come in with the liver with EE. Which again doesn't surprise me. Ethinyl is an alcohol molecule, EE is estradiol bonded to a small amount of alcohol.
I don't think this shows anything in regards to PM though and I can't believe that your friend actually experienced such a problem from JUST PM. Or really even that PM contributed at all.
Unless it was extracted in a really nasty form of alcohol... Like the form EE is bonded with. Ethinyl's really quite nasty.
Most of it isn't though...
