On second thought, I don't think the real problem is in recentf.el, but 
rather in the implementation of widgets and/or faces. It makes sense to 
keep recentf.el as it is.

I'm probably not qualified to fix the bug, at least in a timely manner, 
but I did some experimenting and came up with an MWE, which is attached 
to this e-mail. Hopefully it can be of some help.

Best regards,
Linus Källberg
