The key [to maildir format,] as far as I can tell, is the trailing

Yes, and instead of guessing, one could always read the man pages.

"man procmailrc" says in pertinent part:

                   If the mailbox name ends  in  "/",  then  this
       directory  is presumed to be a maildir folder; i.e., proc­
       mail will deliver the message to a file in a  subdirectory
       named  "tmp"  and  rename  it  to be inside a subdirectory
       named "new".  If the mailbox is  specified  to  be  an  MH
       folder  or maildir folder, procmail will create the neces­
       sary directories if they don't exist,  rather  than  treat
       the  mailbox as a non-existent filename.  When procmail is
       delivering to directories, you can specify multiple direc­
       tories  to  deliver  to  (procmail  will  do  so utilising
       hardlinks).
