I've never used $DEFAULT, though from the sound of it that might be a
good idea.  I just have a procmailrc that delivers things to
$HOME/Maildir/.foldername/ for folders, and $HOME/Maildir/ for the
inbox.  dovecot didn't seem happy without the . in front of the folder
names.  These .'s are not visible from the MUA perspective.
