Yes, I agree.  But if the HELO is something like:

HELO xyzzy

doesn't SPF return 'unknown'?  There is nothing for it to lookup.

In that case it returns "none".  Please have a look at the description of 
the SPF result codes in the SPF specification:

  http://www.openspf.org/RFC_4408#op-result

So this would "pass" the HELO test

No, not for any useful definition of "pass the HELO test" in the context of 
SPF.  It wouldn't fail the HELO SPF check, but it wouldn't pass it either.  
The check would rather be inconclusive.
