I tried this to strip invalid characters:

* ^TO_\/([a-z0-9.-]+)@
* MATCH ?? ()\/[^(_at_)]+
$MATCH
Thinking that only alpha-numerics and . and - would get in
WRONG !
What happens? What does a logfile with VERBOSE=YES show, and
for what kind of input? It "works" for me, but I'm only
guessing at the "To:" line which gives trouble.
(Your procmail is new enough to recognize "^TO_", I presume?
What version?)
So I tried to be smart (the NA Physicist personality kicked in ...)
:0:
* ^TO_\/(.*)@

procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored

This is your current trouble... you want something like:
NAME=`echo $MATCH | sed 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9.]//g'`
Note three changes:
backticks rather than double quotes
closing ] missing in sed command
don't use "\" to escape the "." in character class
However, I still don't thinks this does what you want, but I confess
that it's not clear to me exactly what you do want.
