Interesting question. ARF is a version of multipart/report as defined in RFC 3462. In that document, the message/rfc822 or message/headers is optional. In RFC 5965, we made it mandatory in section 2.d. We did that because the usage scenario we were thinking of was spam button reports where you always have a message in hand, not for any deeper reason. You are of course correct that SPF failures sometimes don't accept the message. I'd be willing to file an erratum that 2.d. should have said that the report MUST include the message if the reporting entity has received it.
