If you have a recipe with the "H" flag up above anywhere,
then the bug says that cannot be turned off later. So a subsequent
recipe with just "B" is really "HB".
Sorry for asking a dumb question, but without any idea about where to
start and what words to search for, searching would have been difficult.
I'm not sure if you (Volker) are still looking for the
description of the bug, but if you are, it's in this section of
my Procmail Quick Start:

When you are choosing or creating a virus-snagging recipe, or any
recipe, I recommend that you do not use a recipe that has an H or
B flag in the top line (any line that starts with :0). This will
help you avoid a bug that is described (along with how to work
around it) in the following messages.

If you decide to use a recipe that uses the B flag in the top
line, make sure that there is not -- and never will be -- an
earlier recipe that has the H flag in the top line.
