Postfix is being liberal in what it accepts. It should already be treating names in SPF records as absolute (like all names in DNS records). Appending periods is a local convention to prevent suffixes being appended be they search lists or current origin in master files ( which doesn't apply the the contents of TXT (SPF) records).
