In general, if procmail falls off the end of the rcfile, fails to save to
$DEFAULT, and then fails to save to $ORGMAIL, does it revert to the
compiled-in value of $ORGMAIL?  That would explain that part; it still does
not explain why it can save to $DEFAULT with a specific recipe but not upon
falling off the end.

Procmail has no fallback beyond the current value of ORGMAIL.  If
delivery to both $DEFAULT and $ORGMAIL fail, then procmail gives up and
exits with error code 73 (EX_CANTCREAT) or 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL), depending
on whether the -t flag was given.  Setting EXITCODE would probably
override those.  So no, this is not a possible explanation.

I think the next thing to try would be to recompile procmail without
optimization to see whether that changes anything.  If not, fire up the
debugger and start poking.
