IMO a separate partition is a very sensible idea, it allows you to upgrade and re-install the system without losing your precious data. However in this case a bind mount might solve your problem:

mount -rbind /where-ever/home /home

That didn't work either...

I can execute procmail manually with a test message, and it just doesn't work when the /home folder is symlinked or bind/rbind mounted. (It works fine when the /home folder is a "normal" folder.)

No error message is given, which is odd.
