sorry, mistake was supposed write fo=1
By RFC 7489, section 6.3:

    fo:  Failure reporting options (plain-text; OPTIONAL; default is "0")
[...]
       1: Generate a DMARC failure report if any underlying
          authentication mechanism produced something other than an
          aligned "pass" result.

This in my understanding generates failure reports for any forwarded mail 
including any mail to lists that do not completely rewrite From:
(including this one mailing list)

- even if DKIM is preserved and valid, such mail won't generate aligned SPF 
   pass

unless you have better explanation of that section...
