What this doesn't take into account is *why* addresses are forwarded.
For example, a common forwarding use is "role" addresses, such as
"treasurer(_at_)organization(_dot_)org" where a new treasurer is elected
periodically, or "service(_at_)company(_dot_)com" where multiple people 
receive
the mail.  In the latter case, sending mail directly to a forwarding
destination address may result in a request sitting in the mailbox of
someone who is on vacation, when the request could have been handled
by any of the other service@ recipients.

Those are also the cases that are most relevant for the forwarder being 
white-listed by the recipient.  If julian(_at_)mehnle(_dot_)net is the 
"treasurer 
@organization.org", then he should trust organization.org and not subject 
messages forwarded by them to SPF checking.  Problem solved.
