My guess, and only a guess, would be that something needs the plug-in.
When it's missing the recovery doesn't completely work. Perhaps the
database is using the plug-in and the recovery process see it being
called, but can't find that plug-in actually installed.

Technically FileMaker's Recovery option is only there to allow you to
(possibly) get the data back from a corrupted database file, but the
file itself may still have problems and it's not advised to continue
using it as the main database. 

The official process is to recover the corrupted file, import its data
into a *fresh*, unused, backup copy of the original database structure,
then delete the recovered file when you're happy you've transferred
everything (or at least everything you can).
