Is it really true that 'any messages posted to the io group will be erased' in this situation? I was not aware of that and I don't think that's correct.

Yes, you can ask to transfer the member list only. But every member will get a message about the transfer. If you later ask for Messages to be transferred, any messages posted to the .io group will be erased. Put the .io group on "only moderators can post" before you ask to transfer Members.
And keep email notifications of new members to the yahooGroup after the member list transfer. You'll have to invite them to the .io group, they'll have to accept invitation (with a click or a reply). Or you can pay .io $10 for one month in order to be able to add them (moderators of free groups cannot add members).
