If it's required, why is no error generated? Is it valid
procmail code to have an unclosed brace?
Not "valid"; just that the software was coded to be
pliant in that regard. The point is to increase robustness.
It's easy to forget a closing brace. I ran with one
missing for the last six weeks, in fact, and only noticed
it when I was looking in my logs to explain something to
someone else on a local newsgroup. If procmail crashed
each time, we'd have a lot of crashed procmail setups.
Note that this is my speculation as for the reason it was coded
that way. I'd bet money on it, though.
