When I searched "escape exclamation", I read David Tamkin's answer here:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2003-01/msg00466.html

So when I entered this recipe:

     # Catch false HTML comments
     :0 B:
     * <!....>
     .SPAM/false_HTML_comments

My logs spewed the following:

procmail: Skipped "!....>"
procmail: No match on "<!....>"

Im curious as to why.

Re-read David's answer that you linked to above. Comparing your recipe to
his answer makes it (REALLY) obvious why it isn't working.
