The overwhelming majority, though slightly less overwhelming on the non-native side, distinguishes them the same way I do:

recreation (1) is pronounced reh-creation, I assume because it was constructed long enough ago and has drifted to become a word of its own.

re-creation (2) is pronounced ree-creation, because it's a fresh composite word that simply has the meaning of its components.

The reason I asked was because a youtuber that sounded like a native speaker said something like "X is a reh-creation of Y", so I got curious if there's a region that does this.
