On the contrary, MAILDIR *IS* special. Reread the procmail 
documentation. Specifically:

     MAILDIR     Current directory while procmail is executing (that
                 means that all paths are relative to $MAILDIR).

or, elsewhere in the procmailrc man page:

     If any environment variable has a special meaning to procmail, it
     will be used appropriately the moment it is parsed (i.e., you can
     change the current directory whenever you want by specifying a new
     MAILDIR, switch lockfiles by specifying a new LOCKFILE, change the
     umask at any time, etc., the possibilities are endless :-).

That's actually redundant.
