I apologize because I mispoke (or mis-copied) in my original post.  The opening 
sentence was supposed to say "When `recentf-show-file-shortcuts-flag' is non-
nil (which it is, by default), ...".

So, yes, turning `recentf-show-file-shortcuts-flag' off, does result in my 
filter being called.  My question is: Is there a reason why they (recentf-show-
file-shortcuts-flag and recentf-menu-filter) are mutually exclusive?
