There's nothing that looks suspicious to me in the headers, and gmail doesn't leave any lines around either (ie no spamassassin-like scoring etc: I don't think they want people gaming the spam detector). There's the IBM internal spam/AV detector markings (but they all say "not spam") and spf looks fine too (no dkim). Maybe it was me fat-fingering the original email, causing the ping to then be marked spam too. No way to know (although mis-marking email as spam without even noticing is definitely not a pattern of mine). So I suspect it was some random word choice that triggered it. Hopefully the fact that I marked your ping message as non-spam means that it won't happen again for me. I actually check my spam box fairly religiously, because I do get a ton of spam and kernel emails occasionally do end up being false positives, and so I check it daily to not be overwhelmed. But I also obviously just scan it quickly, so the first one being missed and just deleted in my daily scan is not all that surprising if it triggered the gmail spam detector randomly. And even if the false-positive rate is pretty darn small, I get _so_ much spam (because my email address is public and has been so long) that even a low false-positive rate still means "a couple of mis-marked messages each week".
