IMO it does not reflect badly on you to ask that the recruiter make your one reference the last thing he/she checks, if they are otherwise prepared to make you an offer. A recruiter/interviewer understands as well as anyone the kind of Catch-22 you're in. That said, in the future try to find people who are more understanding of your need to move on, but who are senior enough to provide a meaningful, qualified recommendation. Much easier at large companies and after you've been in and out of different gigs. Your network will grow over time.
