Yep. Charles did already confirm by a PM, that the problem was caused by this.

Right, but this doesn't work for Emacs 22 (which is used here). Instead
of, recentf-keep recommends there

    A predicate is a function that is passed a filename to check and that
    must return non-nil to keep it.  For example, you can add the
    `file-remote-p' predicate in front of this list to keep remote file
    names in the recent list without checking their readability through a
    remote access.

After all, I guess we can tag this record as "notabug".

Best regards, Michael.
