I can't reproduce any of these with the spfquery of libmail-spf-query-perl
1:1.999.1-1.  These are my package versions:

| Versions of packages libmail-spf-query-perl depends on:
| ii  libnet-cidr-lite-perl         0.20-1
| ii  libnet-dns-perl               0.57-1
| ii  libsys-hostname-long-perl     1.4-1
| ii  liburi-perl                   1.35-2
| ii  perl                          5.8.8-4

It seems those package versions are identical to the second system of
yours.

I don't think so.  The spfquery you execute on the second system most
likely is the one from the "spfquery" package (which is supposed to
conflict with "libmail-spf-query-perl"):

Do you have the "spfquery" package installed on the second system?  What's
the output of `which -a spfquery` on both systems?
