Only if there aren't Received-SPF headers to reuse results from (in 3.2
or later).

Which comes after the attempt to reuse the Received-SPF headers.

In trunk they are again (jm's r596095).  Before that they weren't, and
still aren't in the 3.2 branch (my r588457).

Now I'm not sure what to do.  We need to generate scores for the rules
for set0 (so they shouldn't have tflags net) but those scores probably
aren't going to be very accurate since I don't think many of the
mass-check contributors have Received-SPF headers in their mail.
