The result is that Mr. Pryor will be a judge for now, but he will leave office unless both Mr. Bush and a filibuster-proof Republican Senate majority win election this year.

Why can't Bush just recess appoint him again next year?

He could. There is no constitutional grounds to prevent it. If  a president chooses, he could fill the entire vacant judiciary with recess appointments every time the senate is not in session.
