Indeed they shouldn't. The most noteworthy implementation that seems to treat these as false positives is cPanel, I believe. Every single day we run into no less than 3-5 servers which reject emails from us, claiming that we're listed on SH. They seem to almost always be cPanel boxes.

They should not lead to false positives, because one should not treat the results Spamhaus returns in this case (127.255.255.254 or 127.255.255.255) as positives at all. Positive replies from Spamhaus (in case of IP address checks) are in range 127.0.0.0/24 ONLY, which is clearly explained here:
