I think you meant option 1.

I think they could be reworded as follows:
Option 1 never gives permerror for empty exp.
Option 2 gives permerror for both implicit and explicit empty exp
Option 3 gives permerror for explicit empty exp ("exp="), but not
       for implicit empty exp (as a result of macro expansion, e.g. "exp=%h")

I favor option 1, for the same reason as Scott.  I could live with Option 3:
"Ok, someone clearly screwed up with an explicit exp=, but don't let screwy 
HELO
cause an SPF permerror on an otherwise syntactically valid record."

+1  I prefer option 1
