Sorry for not suggesting that, I thought you already looked there (I
never saw fetchmail loose any mail, no matter how bad the crash that
it faces...).

Anyway, on the failure of procmail: this is a very common problems
with permissions in either the home directory or .procmailrc. From the
procmail man:

Suspicious rcfile "x"
The owner of the rcfile was not the recipient or root, the file was
world writable, or the directory that contained it was  world
writable,  or this  was the default rcfile ($HOME/.procmailrc)
and either it was group writable or the directory that contained it
was
group writable (the rc-file was not used).
