Fine.

Well, that's the problem. Multi-hop remote files, as you use them, are
called "ad-hoc". The reason is that this syntax is intended for the
moment, and not suited to survive Emacs sessions. Tramp reduces the file
name "/method1:host1|method2:host2:" to "/method2:host2", just for
convenience. The needed hop for host2 is kept internally during the
Emacs session.
When you open a new Emacs session, and recentf reads its initial file
with the shortened file name, this information is lost.
So you shall either declare multi-hop by means of
`tramp-default-proxies-alist' (see the Tramp manual, node "Multi-hops"),
or you shall set `tramp-save-ad-hoc-proxies' to t (see the Tramp manual,
node "Ad-hoc multi-hops"), which stores that information persistently.
Anyway, it is an error in recentf to store such shortened remote file
name, missing the ad-hoc multi-hop information. I will check, whether
this could be fixed.
(Maybe you write an Emacs bug report about, in order not to forget? I
cannot promise that I will work on this just now.)

Indeed, I also don't know what's up with "emacs -Q" here. To be
investigated as well.
