Along similar lies to the earlier message, I have wondered for some time
whether it is redundant to use both the 'f' and 'w' flags on the same
recipe? Does 'f' automatically imply waiting for the recipe to complete so
that the modified message will be the one used in further recipes?

Not at all. Normally, when procmail processes an action, it starts the
program designated by the action and feeds the message into it. If the
action 'succeeds' then procmail is done, and stops processing the
rcfile. If it fails then procmail keeps processing the rcfile.
