After some further digging into into the issue and with helpful hints from some 
friendly GTK developers I figured out the problem. It's basically that various 
GTK event handlers of the vim GTK2 GUI quit the gtk main loop (see the event 
handlers in src/gui_gtk_x11.c) which implicitly causes GTK to save the recently 
used files list.
I have notified the author of vim.
