I'd also say that, if there were any danger of someone beginning to

I'd expect to be treated as a bug and therefore to stop working at
some point. Consider:
LOOP='$ $LOOP'
:0
* $ $LOOP
{ }
I can't believe that behavior is intentional, although your
exploitation of it is quite clever.
Wow.
Yeah, but if we can somehow get $LOOP to be something else after
a certain time, we'd have a procmail "sleep" statement. :-)
(Well, I suppose we could run an INCLUDERC now x number of times,
hmm.)
