I'm not familiar with the <( construct. What shell are you using?

If your grepmail thing above works, then I would think that appending
"| xargs cat" to your egrep line and using that in place of grepmail
would also work:
mutt -f <(egrep -l "^From.*frob@(foo|bar).net" {maildir1,maildir2,maildir3}/*/* \
| xargs grep -l "Sep 2000" | xargs cat)
