I'd like write it a bit differently. See at the end.
This terminal here is awful, I couldn't see what the marked character
[!] were. (I'm in our lab), but I assume you meant ORing. Take your pick.

the GREP recipe should be okay. What if you tried alternative
recipe

    result = `$GREP -s "$html" $MAILDIR/save-html`

    :0
    * ! result ?? $\html
    {
        ...it didn't exist
    }


What does shell(csh) say if you run

    % $GREP -s "$html" $MAILDIR/save-html
    % echo $status

And what is your procmail version?
