I doubt it. :) Either a user is completely clueless to headers, in which
case 127.0.0.1 will mean nothing to him; or he is computer-savvy enough to
know what 127.0.0.1 stands for, in which case he will no longer be
surprised.

But they are NOT receiving spam from localhost, are they? They receive a
notification from localhost, containing a spam as attachment. Big
difference. In fact, giving the pseudo Received: header an IP address other
than originating from localhost (or hostname), would be more "spammish",
really.
