it's plenty possible that gmail is sending mail from servers
not listed in their spf list.  it's also very possible that their
full spf list does specify all the outbound servers, but they
exceeded the rfc-mandated limits on dns queries or the
length of the result and thus a conforming receiver could
drop mail.

if you have access to the full headers and can use upas/spf
(included in nupas), you can do the queries manually and
see what happens.  spf isn't hard to understand so you
should be able to piece together the correct result by hand
in ten minutes.
