I've also just now added a fallback to RECENT the first time a mailbox is polled in a session, if there is no header cache data. I think this should take care of the majority of users. For people for whom the recent flag is frequently lost (the motivation for switching to UIDNEXT), a workaround is to use header_cache, which you probably already are. We may need a flag to disable recent, but I hope we don't.
