Huh?  Why the extra level of braces?

Makes logical sense to me to have the conditions for something and
then the action for those conditions in two logical blocks.

And yet, the inner recipe has but one CONDITION, and that is what extracts the header content. Is this not a _condition_ which should be part of the collection of other conditions?

{ LOG = "$MATCH
" }

Why is putting quotes around the $MATCH better?

{ LOG = ${MATCH}$NL }

Out of habit, I always enclose my log output in quotes. But I also use an $NL for inserting newlines, rather than hard-coding them into the quoted string, which IMO, is asking for trouble, at least in recipes which eventually get distributed to others.
