Seems fixed on GTK3, Ubuntu 12.10. If you delete a file, no longer shows on the "recent document list". If you delete a file while the file selector dialog is open, the list did not autorefresh (the deleted file is still listed). If you then open the previously deleted file, the editor (Gedit on my tests) open a blank document, but no file is created unless you save the document.
