Obvious things first - does your setup deal with SPF records for other domains 
without problem?

If so join the gmail sucks club.

I use gmail as a test sender/recipient for my mail server. I go back a couple 
of years now - I noticed that gmail was failing my SPF record, despite it 
definitely being correct. Since it was still delivering my test mails to Inbox 
rather than junk, I just left it. 

Then it started to put mail in junk folders - good job I noticed.

It did not like my SPFv6 record, despite it being correct, despite mxtoolbox 
saying it was correct, despite the authoritative DNS server saying it was 
correct and every other DNS server I thought to check. Even the gmail DNS 
servers thought it was correct. Go figure that one :-)

Since I have a /64, I pragmatically brought up the v6 address gmail thought I 
should have and adjusted my records - just to make gmail happy and stop binning 
test mails and email to friends unfortunate enough to be relying on gmail.

It has solved the problem, but you seem to have a different one. To complete my 
story, it's likely that the record gmail wanted to see (and now does) had been 
in use before. For most people DNS changes update in lets say 24 hours, but for 
gmail it seems to take a couple of years :-)
