The empty group did work for me, even though I considered that a bug (and it 
didn't output any group header like "[]").

Yes because KRecentFilesAction depends on it and was broken because 
of "<default>":

void KRecentFilesAction::loadEntries( const KConfigGroup& _config)
[...]
    KConfigGroup cg = _config;
    if ( cg.group().isEmpty())
        cg = KConfigGroup(cg.config(), "RecentFiles");
