This is a bug in procmail.  A patch has been posted to the procmail
mailing list, but the procmail maintainer hasn't yet found time to do a
3.23 release.  I'm not having much luck searching the list archives for
the diff, though.  I believe the problem is an off-by-one when re-reading
the header from the recovery file after a filter terminates with an error.

The suggested workaround is to add

    :0 fhw
    | sed '1s/^rom /From /'

at some appropriate place in the .procmailrc file.
