NOTE: that message should specify the source of the error. If it does
not, something in your logging plumbing is mangling error messages.
I tried increasing the debug level and even added -v to the pipe line
in master.cf, but the message was the same. This is the entire line.

That's broken... Something between Perl and your log is mangling and
truncating the error message. Maybe the Postfix 'pipe' plumbing? That's
a secondary issue though, as it is easy to run SA by itself to. find the
problem.
Try this:
spamassassin -D all --lint
That should give you a large amount of debug output including the
original error message with a file & line reference.
These are the lines in master.cf that points to the pipe for filter:
[...]
This isn't a Postfix problem except for the incomplete log message. The
cause of the warning is what matters.
Also note: there is at least one 3rd-party ruleset (http://sa.zmi.at)
which appears to have had a typo ('.' where a ',' should have been)
which
also resulted in this error message in a recent version. See
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7669 for a report
of
this issue (which is not a bug in SA per se, as the rules with the
typo
are an independent distribution.)
I checked for this problem in the SA rules, but didn't find any
problems. I'm using the default set, and my research says these have
all been fixed. So, the problem must be in an affiliated perl module,
but I have no idea how to find it.
And yet, in your later message you say:
The same searches run on SA rules found one possible issue:
# grep -ro "\[,.\]" /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/*
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/70_sare_specific.cf:[,s
That is NOT part of the default ruleset. For a few years there was a
3rd-party collection of rules files known as SARE which was distributed
independently of the SpamAssassin project. It was last updated well over
a decade ago. No one should be using those rules with a modern SA to
catch modern spam. They are neither safe nor effective. Remove any rules
file with 'sare' in its name. It would also be wise to make sure that
you are running 'sa-update' regularly (weekly at least, ideally daily)
to be sure that you have the current default ruleset.
