Removing tasks and frequent from the taskbar menu makes recent appear even if it is false

Details
There are three preferences that control the taskbar menu:
browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled (defaults to true)
browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled (defaults to false)
browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled (defaults to true)
If you set frequent and tasks to both be false, recent appears in the menu even though it defaults to false. No change to browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled affects it.

_deleteActiveJumpList doesn't seem to work right. Once everything is false and you go down that path, you're left with the last thing you selected.

This is bugging me right now with the current Firefox version on Windows 11. (I also checked on a Windows 10 computer, there it's the same.)
From the behavior perspective it could be considered two bugs (probably with the same technical cause):
1 (what OP reported)
browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled = false
browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled = false
expected: no recent list
what happens: recent list is present in the Firefox jump list (task bar context menu)
2 (kind of the inverted problem)
browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled = true
browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled = true
expected: recent list in the Firefox jump list (task bar context menu)
what happens: recent list is missing
This https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1652393 is a duplicate of this bug (1602942) in my opinion. For that user it's a privacy issue on a shared computer.
How to reproduce:
- Have a Firefox profile with one of the above two combinations of settings and browser.taskbar.lists.maxListItemCount at a value other than 0. Changing the settings has to be done in about:config and not via editing the preferences files (this is mentioned in a help thread on the Firefox support forum) as Firefox edits the Windows registry when making the change in about:config.
- Visit at least one page so the frequent list gets populated.
- Open at least one local file so the recent list gets populated (Windows settings must not be set to prohibit the creation of recent items). The user in the other bug has opened PDF files, I have a bookmarks-firefox.json entry in the list and a jpg file.
Restarting Firefox does not appear to make a difference.
