This is true for my system.  I have no /etc/procmailrc file.  Sendmail
only runs procmail for users who have a ~/.procmailrc.  This is as it
should be.  Bogofilter is run for each user as that user, each having
their own wordlist.db.  Under this setup, if you wanted a global
wordlist.db, you'd have to give world-writable permissions, or else
invoke procmail with /etc/procmailrc.
