Here's a guess:
"* ? foo" only matches on an exitcode of '0'
bogofilter exits '0' when spam.
But if it exits with anything else (including an internal error 
code) your script will dump it into non-spam and presumeably 
deliver it.

Can you check the procmail log to see if there was an error with 
bogofilter?  In your case, any error would result in deliver.

It might be better if, assuming bogofilter exits with a '1' for 
non-spam to look for that specifically in this line:

:0EHBc
| bogofilter -n

(I think you add "* $? ?? ^^1^^")

And allow all failures to be delivered without any inputs into 
bogofilter.
