My guess is the errors/warnings reported in the bug report will reappear because whatever was the true cause of those messages was not really fixed with that patch. I think this one of those moments when one problem masked another. Therefore reverting that one patch in 3.5.13 without the other unknown fixes is likely to resurrect those messages.

I can confirm I'm not getting this issue on my 3.5.13 system running on 
Debian Squeeze with official packages. kdesu starts a new kate session.
