Eureka! The UK (in upper case) was a typo, but I'd forgotten about case
sensitivity with what i'd previously tried. Having been used to procmail by
default being case insensitive, I'd ignored case in the leafnode filters

I'll now re-try my earlier filters in the correct case.
Thanks for the pointer.
