Well, this is nitpicking, but it happens in Outlook in both cases.
Kolab just can't represent the required permission property and looses
the setting.
Again: in Outlook 'is private' and 'sensitivity' are completely
separate MAPI properties.

I agree and thinking more about it:

I tend to suggest that this popup should be removed completely or
hidden in some menu (I think this is what Outlook does). Kontact should
just show non-public sensitivity in an additional, read-only field
(when dealing with iCal items set by other clients).
