"a:%{h}" is _never_ a syntax error, because it is valid syntax according to 
the RFC 4408 grammar.  To what value the %{h} expands is completely 
irrelevant as far as RFC 4408 is concerned.

Yes, this may very well be considered a design flaw in SPFv1, but that's 
how things are.  There is no macro string expansion result validation in 
SPFv1.
