if the devs could please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think...
a PC's runestones are linked to their RESREF.
so if someone RCRs a teleporting spellcaster and gives them a different starting name the system will assign that PC a different RESREF.
Even if a DM changes the PCs name it doesn't change their RESREF, so that PC's runestones won't properly "remember" how many time the character used a particular runestone (effectively resetting number teleports to 0)
is that right?

Re: rcr and runestones
thats actually a pretty good question 
the wizards i have rcr'd atm dont teleport too much so if it was reset i would have no idea since i mark places a lot but may not have need to teleport since im kinda already there
the one that i do teleport on quite often has a lot of crap as well is a book full of spells and is kinda in the middle of stuff rp wise so its really not safe to rcr her atm bc it would take a long time
but it would definitely suck if the count drops to 0 bc its a new character
not sure how ras saved it

Re: rcr and runestones
I can confirm that the PC name in your Server Vault folder is the original name of the PC. Sam/Sally maybe became John/Joni, but as far as the saved file name (*.bic), it will always be Sam/Sally. It updates every time your PC's file is saved.
What I do not know is if runes use GetPCName()-type call resulting in using IG name or file name, or something else, such as Player Acct, CDKey... Big Brother is watching somewhere in the code.

PC1 = Nerys, Emissary and Skald of the Greyfox tribe, last seen roaming north near Secomber
PC2 = Valqis Sanejmeh; far away cartographer, Oracle of Nut at chaltin QulDaq, former navigator of the Sea Seeker, Reader of Candlekeep and sometime performer.

Re: rcr and runestones
It remembers. Kory has teleported to Temple of Auril some 70+ times and since RCR it still pops up with that number.
Kory Sentinel

"And he just sounds so confident ... he is a favored soul."

Re: rcr and runestones
Well since he was RCR'd to Koryeneer Sentinel and then back to Kory not sure if that would count........

Re: rcr and runestones
it may be possible the viable is saved to the actual item on creation and cleared if the rune is cleared, with each successful teleport adding a count to it since it triggers off clicking the rune
