Ted,

You are quite correct !! When I include the HELO response, I get the
correct SPF result. It's always good to learn something new.

Doing the same thing as you with libspf2-1.2.5 with the following ACL 
snippet in my RCPT ACL ..
# Deny outright a plain as day failure. This should be whitelisted
deny    message       = ERRMSG_SPFFAIL
         hosts         = !+relay_from_hosts
         !authenticated = *
         spf           = fail
         continue     = ${readsocket{GLSOCK}{spffail \
           $sender_host_address}{20s}{ }{SOCKETERROR}}


exim -bh 74.125.44.152
...
HELO yx-out-1718.google.com
...
MAIL FROM:<example@???>
...
RCPT TO:<valid@???>

Perhaps it is causing an error without the HELO/EHLO string. I can't
test that easily right now. It shouldn't need to be in the RCPT ACL
either, the MAIL FROM one I think should be fine, but that's another
thing to check.
