If you had ever tested your idea, you'd have found out otherwise. But
you didn't see there was anything to test--a different interpretation.
Let me see, the oldest mail I have from this archive is indeed 10
years old:

So, no, I'm not en passant trying to be a smartass. I've been
hammering on procmail recipes for a decade now.
It never even occurred to you that these people, smart people, who are
rarely wrong, at least not in public, might have learned anything that
you didn't already know better--because you after all really did RTFM.
I didn't blame anyone of not being smart or whatever, please don't put
words in my mouth. And the documentation vs code deficiencies are a
fact, there is nothing to be right or wrong about.
Here's the truth. Not some claim. Not some quote from the man pages.
The truth is that an fs issue nuked half a day of my mail which should
not happen. And the truth is: If you want to have multiple deliveries
with different conditions/actions you need to manually do the error
checking on each recipe. We came as far as to all agree to that.
There is nothing more to resurrect from this. One can either succumb
and double the recipes, make some miracle to reinitiate procmail
development or let it r.i.p.
