Ok, so say example.com has a redirect to nxdomain.example.org.  I
think getting a "None" result from checking example.com when
there clearly is an SPF record there will be quite surprising to
people also.

_I_ am not the one saying that SPF(non-existent-domain) should result in 
"None".

But as a matter of principle, "redirect=" should always work as if the SPF 
check started over.  IMO, this is what the user expects.
