This test is incorrect I think.  I believe it should be:
  outer-space:
    description: >-
      SPF supports spaces in DNS labels with a macro.
    spec: 8.1/6
    helo: you get mail from my pc
    host: 1.2.3.4
    mailfrom: "don't panic"@outer-space.test
    result: pass
zonedata:
  outer-space.test:
    - SPF: v=spf1 a:inner%_space.test -all
  inner space.test:
    - A: 1.2.3.4

Since no SPF record was supplied for "inner space.test", the result
was permerror.  But you expected a pass.
