Don, whenever I'm wrong and you know better, please correct me.

And that's what the procmailrc(5) man page implies for version 3.15:

     LOGABSTRACT Just before procmail exits it logs  an  abstract
                 of the delivered message in $LOGFILE showing the
                 `From ' and `Subject:'  fields  of  the  header,
                 what  folder it finally went to and how long (in
                 bytes) the message was.  By setting  this  vari-
                 able  to  `no',  generation  of this abstract is
                 suppressed.  If you set it  to  `all',  procmail
                 will   log  an  abstract  for  every  successful
                 delivering recipe it processes.

The only thing left is to wait for Philip to weigh in.  Perhaps there is
different behavior if stderr is a terminal than if it's a plain file set
by the LOGFILE variable?
