Yes, this is a spam alright. The Message-Id alone tells so. See my rule
KB_RATWARE_MSGID in bug 5830 [1].

This *IS* a (D)Dos.  Do not do that.

No violation of RFCs, but you are right -- the first Received header is
forged.

My rule FORGED_RELAY_MUA_TO_MX is designed to catch this kind of forged
Received headers with direct delivery to MX. See bug 5817 [2].


As to why SA doesn't see it (out of the box) currently is easy. Because
no one spotted a pattern and wrote the code before. Well, until early
Feb. ;)
