Thanks James. Turns out that wasn't exactly my problem. But it got me 
looking.

My /etc/postfix/main.cf had an additional line toward the bottom that said:

mailbox_command =

Which effectively cancelled out my attempt to inject procmail in the 
loop. I think I'll submit a bug to the Ubuntu folks about this "killer" 
line.
