Well, that's . . . interesting.  The problem of the dual icons existed in stock KDE3,
and Gentoo seems to have avoided the file collision by an insane technicality:  
kbabel installs to share/icons/locolor/ and kdeartwork installs to share/icons/Locolor/ .  
There's no explanatory note anywhere, so I have to assume that that happened by 
accident, and the quirk may have been present in other distros as well.

Do we have a policy on what to do with non-core applications that ship icons
for the core icon sets?  It probably doesn't matter whether we send these
to kdeartwork or their respective packages, but it would be nice to be
consistent about where the files end up.
