Is this a new feature?  My man page is very old.

No, it was Andrew's mistake. It is a perl-ism (perhaps also an awk-ism) that doesn't work in procmail. Moreover, it never will, for if procmail adds the feature, the braces will have to be escaped for backward compatibility with old recipes that might search for a literal string matching that syntax. (Or at least the left brace will have to be escaped.)
