Not that I know of, and I doubt it.

There absolutely should be a blank line.  I think though that the order
is wrong: mutt expects that a message (i.e. a From_ line) appears at
the old EOF marker, and that the EOF marker is on/after a blank line.
I think that if you adjust your filter to write the message and then a
blank line instead of a blank line and then a message, the error will go
away.
