I tried putting:

mydomain.com   IN TXT "v=spf1 ptr -all"

into my zone file, updated the serial, and restarted the service.

If this is a BIND-flavored zone file, you're missing a period.

mydomain.com.   IN TXT "v=spf1 ptr -all"

Without the period, the first field is considered to be a "hostname",
or more specifically, the current domain name is appended to it, so
you created a record for the FQDN "mydomain.com.mydomain.com.".

Note that you can often use @ in place of the current domain name, thus:

@               IN TXT "v=spf1 ptr -all"

But that may not be a feature of your DNS server; check the manual to
be sure.
