LOCKFILE variable... according to my "procmail companion" book, that

create the file if it does not exist, and then continue. un-setting the
variable then deletes the file... I'm guessing that the lock names are
stacked LIFO in case multiple locks are used.
No. You get one lockfile at a time; as soon as you assign to
LOCKFILE, the previous lockfile is deleted and the new one is created.
There is no stack.
