This sounds like a bug to me too. I can't think of any reason for SA to check all the Received lines against dialin lists like that. Of course someone on a dialin IP sent mail to his provider who relayed it on to my MTA. That's expected. I can't see any point in penalizing the sender for doing what we want them to. LOL If my understanding (extremely limited mind you) of the rbleval options is correct, someone should add a "check_dul" option that only checks that RBL against the last Received line (or perhaps a defined # of Received lines for those that always have N MTA hops before SA gets its hands on the message). The only other option is to assign an extremely low value to those DNSBLs. That defeats much of their purpose though, IMHO.
