The problem is as follows: you've told procmail to write the entire
message down the pipe to the action (to be precise, you haven't told
procmail to do otherwise), however, the action only reads the header of
the message.  As a result, on messages where the body is more than
PIPE_BUF bytes long or so, procmail will get a write error which it
interprets as failure of the action.

Does that all make sense?

Perfectly. Most excellent explanation, thank you.
