I tried both stable on XBMC stable and the latest GIT on XBMC stable, on both cases recently added albums are not working on the home screen
What XBMC version do you have?
I tried on 10.1 with both the repo and GIT version.
If you are using XBMC 10.1, you need the Simplicity-Dharma version. If you are using the nightly versions of XBMC you can use the Simplicity GIT.
