Add this to the end of your .procmailrc:

        # Work around procmail bug: any output on stderr will cause the "F" in
        "From"
        # to be dropped.  This will re-add it.
        :0 H
        * ! ^From[ ]
        * ^rom[ ]
        {
          LOG="*** Dropped F off From_ header! Fixing up. "

          :0 fhw
          | sed -e 's/^rom /From /'
        }
