I don't know about this case (don't even know if I have access
to those logs on sourceware.org), but...

I have seen a few false-positive rejections of messages sent by gmail
due to spam-detecting rules that deny a recipient whose HELO address
cannot be looked up.  In at least one case I documented, google was using
an address for which lookup failed, so my system rejected it as spam.
I guess it could have been due to DNS propagation delay.
