Two hit wonders
If you go by recordings rather than releases, then Baddiel & Skinner could count - they reached #1 both with the original and the 1998 re-make of Three Lions (the latter has been re-issued a couple of times). Of course, both featured The Lightning Seeds who have charted other hits.

The 'missing' featured artists
Will Powers - Kissing With Confidence (a *very* weird song!) featured Carly Simon. Shena featured on Michael Gray - The Weekend. Ricardo Da Force was uncredited on several KLF tracks on which he featured. Jermaine Dupri was uncredited on Mariah Carey - It's Like That. Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun had a totally uncredited singer. Also, Shifty was not credited on Starry Eyed Surprise.

The 'missing' featured artists
Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes did not give David Bowie a credit despite the fact that he wrote, produced, sang backing vocals, and played saxophone on the track. Mariah Carey - I'll Be There is a duet with Trey Lorenz, but he is not credited. Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok features an uncredited Anders Glenmark singing the chorus. Siedah Garrett was not given a label credit on Michael Jackson's I Just Can't Stop Loving You (thus leading Guinness not to credit her) although she is credited on the sleeve. The vocalist on Tomcraft - Loneliness receives no credit at all (according to Wikipedia the song is based around an Andrea Martin song, but it does not specify whether or not her voice is sampled). The Bayside Boys remix of Los Del Rio's Macarena featured a totally unidentified female voice. Jay-Z was not credited on Crazy In Love.
