Add 'w' to the first filter (WAIT UNTIL COMPLETE), then for the second part,
I'd probably try:

:0 Aw
| (formail -rt -I "Precedence: junk" \
   -I "From: botaddr(_at_)domain (mail robot)" ;\
   cat $TEMP2 ) | $SENDMAIL -t

The switches:
        A - run on condition of PREVIOUS filter (therefore you don't have to
                dupe the condition code).
        w - wait for complete

        Obviously, you'd want to tweak the FROM address to be appropriate
for your bot (otherwise, the actual address, as configured, of the account
running procmail at the time will probably be inserted, which you might not
want).

        I'm open to corrections.
