Since there were no further comments, I've prepared a new version including 
this patch, and intend to have it uploaded shortly, unless wild protests 
ensue.

The package can be found in 
ftp://ftp.kibibyte.se/debian/pool/main/libs/libspf2, and the debian 
subdirectory can also be browsed at http://svn.kibibyte.se/libspf2/trunk.

I've included a README.Debian containing the following note:

  [...] This should
  improve behaviour of applications that (incorrectly) call
  SPF_request_set_env_sender() with an empty envelope sender address.
  However, applications SHOULD NOT RELY ON THIS, but should check if
  the envelope sender address is empty, and in that case pass the HELO
  identity instead, or use the result of an earlier HELO check.
