The main reason why the SPF spec does not recommend that bounces should 
never, never, ever(!) be sent due to a failed SPF check is that it should 
be obvious to everyone who has understood the point of SPF.  If SPF says 
"this envelope sender is forged", then it simply makes no sense to send a 
bounce message to the forged address, period.

But it does not do any harm to put it there both for emphasis and for
the benefit of those who did not "get" the point.
