MY QUESTION IS:
What is the purpose of the backslash-slash in the line

This backslash-slash combination is shown in one of the procmailex manpage
examples, but, I don't see an explanation of what the purpose of the
backslash-slash combination is in that manpage example, or in other procmail
manpage (although I may have missed it).
Yep. Check the procmailrc(5) manpage again:
MATCH This variable is assigned to by procmail when-
ever it is told to extract text from a matching
regular expression. It will contain all text
matching the regular expression past the `\/'
token.
....
\/ Splits the expression in two parts. Everything
matching the right part will be assigned to the
MATCH environment variable.
