I had a similar problem, I am a non-EU family member, wife is Spanish living in the UK since 2001. I got a Indefinite Leave to Remain permit after 5 years on my own, then just after applying for Spanish visas every year for traveling together with family decided to apply for a Permanent Residence Card since now I qualify as EU dependant, which I got it.
However this new residence card does not state anywhere that it was issued to a EU/EEA family member, which is what it says for a residence card issued under 5 years of residence.
I Have not yet tried to travel with this "permanent" (lasts 10 years) card and without Spanish visa, will do in December. Hope Spanish authorities will believe it was "issued for a family member of EU/EEA" as this is not written there nor in the letter from the Border Agency.
