There's a bug in `recentf-include-p' that could cause losing all entries
in recentf-list. When a predicate in `recentf-exclude' errs,
`recentf-include-p' returns nil and thus causes an corresponding entry
to be removed. My entire recentf-list (500ish entries) has been damaged
because of this and before I found out the data saved has already been
overwritten.
I think recentf-include-p should not silently ignore an error from any
predicates in recentf-exclude because an error signals a bug in the
predicate itself.

It does seem better to err on the side of caution and include in case of
error.
