In order to see what's going on, let your .procmailrc insert an additional
FIXED line, say '\n-- \nFIXED\n', as is you can't tell a correct .sig
from a fixed one.

My procmailrc is cutting those boring and superfluous ML footers that
make my postings only partially signed.

Whether evolution's behavior is correct is hard to tell, you want it
to cut on the 1st occurring delimiter, it cuts on the last one.
Think of bottom quotings or forwarded messages, cutting on the first
occurrence might loose some contents.
