Now I am confused (not all that unusual).

If I forward an email from you (with or without your permission)
while claiming to be me and passing that email through my strict SPF
host, I can do that just fine... I think, mostly because I'm not
claiming to be you, but rather forwarding along a message from you
(in the DATA section of the SMTP dialogue) with my information in the
header (MAIL FROM dialogue).

(That's usually called the "envelope", not "header".  The "header" is part 
of the actual message text, which also contains the "body".  You probably 
knew that and merely confused the term.)

Now if someone is forwarding my email, claiming to be me, I don't
care for that behavior, thus I have an SPF record in an effort to
prevent that.  Where am I going wrong?

Who says you're going wrong?
