Either there is a little error or I don't understand any longer the function of "Recover Saved Cart":
1. When I'm logging in and than place an order and after logout and quit the browser before checking out, the cart will be saved. As far every thing clear.
2. When I reopen the browser place a new order and than check out (I will be asked to login) I will be directed directly to the first checkout step. "VM_RECOVER_CART" is displayed in the cart module or in the minicart in the VM module. This means to me that either there is an error with the language variable or the cart, or "Recover Saved Cart" shouldn't be displayed any longer in the checkout page (which wouldn't make sense to me until I have deleted the Saved Cart by myself)
3. Than when I cklick on any category or on "show cart" instead of continuing the checkout procedure "Recover Saved Cart" is shown again.
When I place an order before I'm logged in and than login and than logout before completing the checkout procedure the cart won't be saved. The articles are still in the cart when I just login next time I visite the shop, but there is no "Recover Saved Cart" when I place a new order before login, and the old order is lost. In my opinion the visitor should have a possibility like "Do you want to save your cart?" before he is leaving without completing the order. (May be he has to leave for any reasons and don't want to stay logged in)
So may be I don't really understand the developpers intention or I'm completely wrong with my thoughts.

VM rev 1163
I used to get VM_RECOVER_CART see tracker 1637 (http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/tracker/itemDetails.do?navigation=true&task_id=1637) but couldn't replicate it, I will retry with your instructions.
It's easy to replicate on VM testsite (http://shop.protechsystems.us/index.php). Seems to me that tracker 1637 is not completely solved.
Q&T note, Tracker URL https://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/tracker/itemDetails.do?task_id=1666
This problem was resolved in rev 1178. but now I have the same problem again in rev 1193.
