You have changed your action line and are invoking what we
call "legacy procmail directory-type delivery."  To use
maildir+ style delivery, put a trailing slash on your 
action line's delivering path.

  :0
  * conditions
  /path/to/maildir/folder/

See the trailing slash?  That is what you want.

This is explained in the procmailrc man page.

       If it  [i.e., the  mailbox name  given on the  action line]  is a
       directory,  the  mail  will  be delivered  to  a  newly  created,
       guaranteed to be  unique file named $MSGPREFIX*  in the specified
       directory. . . .  If  the  mailbox  name ends  in "/",  then this
       directory is presumed to be a maildir folder . . . .
