As the software-center client and server teams have discussed on IRC during the week, the current fix can return too few results (sometimes just a single item) to prevent the usability issue described in the bug description. That is, the unexpected disappearance of the recommendations panel after opt-in. The reason this can happen is because we do not display recommended items if they are currently installed on the computer, so a small list of recommendations has a high probability of hitting an item that is installed, with the result that the panel is hidden.
If possible, a full set of 60 items would be ideal, as this will also help insure that there will be a good chance of recommendations in the categories screens as well.
