Yep. That was me who was having that problem. I've started doing it
again to (having procmail writing to the same folders that evolution is
reading) and haven't seen the problem re-occur yet. I was hoping that
now that evolution wasn't beta anymore that problem had been addressed. 

But to answer the original question, what I do is this:
 - procmail filters my mail into ~/mail/[folder name] where PINE reads
it. 
 - those folders are actually symlinked to ~/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox
(or whatever the path to the folder's mbox file happens to be). 

I'll followup if the mismatch error continues to occur.
