If the Display Name is not specified in the Message Header then I have no clue as to what is going on.

Action "permanently delete" will always force a "Stop Processing". There would not be anything for any following Rules to run against. "Stop Processing" only applies if the Conditions for the Rule are TRUE. Otherwise it has no effect on following Rules.

All I can suggest for the conflict error is to disable all of your Rules and then enable them one at a time to see who is causing the conflict.

If that doesn't work you can try a Rules Reset. This will clear ALL OF YOUR RULES. You will have to add them back one at a time manually.
