It is a major defect in the Kontact Client, so I am glad you've pointed it out 
again. I am rarely relaxed about major defects. :)

Overall I have seen to many people using KDE PIM from KDE SC 4.0 up to 4.5.x
not knowing that they have some significant drawbacks as Kolab Clients. We 
seriously need to get the word out about this discrepancy. And we need to do 
it in a friendly way to show that the PIM and KDE group did wonderful 
progress which is highly appreciated.

For the current KEPs discussions I've seen it used as an argument 
that some client would do this or that. I believe we need to be more precise 
about which client has what behaviour to judge the relevance of the argument.

Best,
Bernhard
