brandon, I didn't get your original... but could you ping me off-list and maybe I can get some data about what it is you're seeing? :)
I have been running into these a lot also and have so far concluded that it is an error within Google. The PTR/AAAA, SPF and DKIM are all matched up and tested as working. It also occurring on domains using google apps to handle their email so it is platform wide. All of the emails are personal emails, but coming from multiple domains/senders.
The exact same email will be rejected when sent to any google IPv6 server for minutes/hours, but 3-4 hours later it will be accepted without error.
The fact that it is being hard rejected is really quite annoying and generating a lot more support work.
Unfortunately, my only fix at present is to turn off IPv6 delivery for all google hosted domains as I encounter them. It would be really nice if it was fixed.
My theory is that they are failing PTR lookups.
