I have a related behavior readily occuring in my Inkscape 0.48.1 on Windows XP.
1 - Open Inkscape and put something on the canvas.
2 - Quit Inkscape. It will ask to save the document, say Yes and give it a simple filename (e.g: "test.svg")
3 - Reopen Inkscape; the saved document is nowhere to be found on the Recent Files list.
4 - However, when the file is opened then it gets added to the Recent Files list.
Manually saving the document before closing doesn't reproduce this behavior.
