Better than throwing a signal that is not handled, preventing the user
from saving a file.

Me to.
I looked into this some more and I now think that there is something
more complex going on that leads to the malformed URL ending up in the
recentf-list. This could be because I have code that synchronizes
`file-name-history' and `recentf-list', and in my Emacs 22, `file-name-
history' contains malformed tramp locations, while this doesn't seem
to be the case in 23. Also, it appears that the // is handled
correctly in 23 (but wasn't in 22). So, the problem might not occur
in 23 anyways. The particular chain of events may not be worth our
time.
Generally, I do think it is prudent to guard against errors being
signaled when running code from hooks so that users don't end up in a
(to them) non-recoverable situation. You'll know best where the right
place is...
