The Move To>Recent folders's list is a very useful cache of the folders most recently used to save messages. This list is crucial for accelerating the housekeeping of messages in the right folders in very large or deep hierarchies. Unfortunately, this list is populated folders used as targets for messages by filters, which is not only unnecessary (because probably no more messages will end up in those folders) but it completely destroys the "recently used folders" notion of users, because messages moved by filters are moved transparently, there is no warning about it.

Wrapping up, folders used as targets of messages moved by filters must not be used to populate the recently used folders available when moving messages. As simple as that.
