Never mind.  I've figured this out.  The above configuratioon seems to 
do Bad Things to mail delivery.  I've change my config to the following, 
and things seem to be working:

# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate destinations
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin
MAILDIR=$HOME/.Maildir # all mailboxes live here
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/new/ # This is where incoming mail goes
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail_log
DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver"
SHELL=/bin/sh
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YESS
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
$MAILDIR/.Spam/new/

Thanks,
