or should they return UNKNOWN in both cases?

I believe both should be UNKNOWN.

We  use weight-based test aggregators, and embedding the NXDOMAIN test
in  the  SPF  test  inappropriately  increases the weight of a message
(since  it  will  already  be  assigned points based on an independent
NXDOMAIN test).

While  some  will  say, "You'd be rejecting the message anyway, so who
cares,"  duplicate tests, and resultant reporting errors, are far from
desirable.
