That would be an artifact of people's spam filters.
All the SPF libraries/filters I've looked at either
tag or bounce SPF fails. If someone is tagging and
dropping that is between you and them, not a failing
of SPF as designed.
I would note that I have lost _at_least_ 5 messages
in the last month to badly configured non-SPF spam filters,
so your record isn't surprising.
