Did you modify any pages after making the above changes?  The RecentChanges
pages are themselves just wiki pages that are updated whenever someone
posts a new page.  I added a slightly modified version of the above to
pmichaud.com, edited Development.LanguageIt and it seemed to work:
   http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Main/TuttiICambiaRecenti
   http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Development/ModificheRecenti

Another, possibly simpler, solution to all of this is may be to leave the
$RecentChanges array alone (so that all updates are still recorded in
$Group.RecentChanges and Main.AllRecentChanges), then create 
language-specific titles that do an [[include:...]] of other page.
I.e., create Main.TuttiICambiaRecenti that contains just the line
"[[include:Main.RecentChanges]]", and for each group create a page
Group.ModificheRecenti with the line "[[include:Group.RecentChanges]]".
Otherwise, page changes on multilingual sites will be spread across
several RecentChanges/ModificheRecenti/DerniersModifications/etc.
pages, depending on the language in effect when the pages were modified.

The creation of the per-group pages with the [[include:]] text could 
even be easily automated by the i18n-it.php and other i18n files.
