See man procmailrc for the Unless.

If you set MAILDIR to a non-existing directory name,
the value of MAILDIR becomes dot.

Food for thought (an examination of the source should lead to an answer):

What happens if you set it to a directory which at the time you SET it, exists, but during the course of the rcfile processing, is deleted - either by something invoked from procmail, or independantly.
