The form does seem to have worked, and I'm not currently on the BRBL, although
this morning I got bounces from a Barracuda customer for a very benign message
with "rejected due to spam content," so who knows.  I wish there was better
visibility into the process.

then it was not blocked by the RBL but by the contentfilter

Yes, I am aware of that.  My point was that if they are feeling that benign 
content (I'm happy to forward to you) is spam, that may be a prelude to being 
on the BRBL again. (Although that does appear to have been due to a colleague's 
WordPress mishap.)

maybe the RCPT did train his appliance wrong?

most people do that because they don't realize that train ham is more important than training spam after a suiteable amount is trained

making the process not visible is by intention on a spamfilter because
otherwise you leak informations how to bypass it

Of course!  With SA I can see what rules are being hit, though, which is nice.  
I'm not sure if the same is possible for a Barracuda client -- I have asked the 
affected recipient.

surely, you see even more on a Barracuda like which tokes of the message was a hit and how often that token was marked as spam and as ham in case of bayes via the webinterface

a highly customized spamassassin is part of the barracuda appliance
