I can't independently confirm that it's happening, but if it is, you
are correct to be angry. It's an ignorant (mis)use of SPF if I've ever
seen one. The fact that a "joe job" was attempted against your address
must not result in address-level blacklisting.

Perhaps a temporary misconfiguration on their side is responsible.
