I have confirmed this bug still happens in the daily build of Ubuntu 12.04, as well as Ubuntu 11.10. I have also confirmed this bug *only* happens in Unity. Gnome Shell and Gnome Classic do not have any issues with selecting recent items from a GtkRecentChooserMenu.
OpenShot, Inkscape, and many other application are going to remain broken until this bug is fixed.

It is used in Anjuta and I also use it in my own code (a patch to Xournal: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3249971&group_id=163434&atid=827735). It is probably being used by many more applications. When using the global menu, it is always the first entry that is opened, no matter which one you click. Looking at the source, GtkRecentChooserMenu uses gtk_menu_get_active to select the item. I'm guessing that the active item is not updated when using the global menu. It probably should be.
