I understand this is a low priority issue, but it should not be mistaken for a mere corner case that will never be used. I encounter this bug every single day; I have simply grown accustomed to it and now routinely work around it, when it affects me at all. I always launch Konqueror via 'konqueror about:blank' because I prefer to begin browsing from a blank page rather than a big blue introduction to Konqueror (the about:konqueror page), which I find distracting. I could make my own blank HTML file and launch on that instead, but then I would need to clear the location bar to type in a URL. What I find strange is why Konqueror is willing to launch in a "half-loaded" state, rather than actually loading the real about:blank page (which exhibits none of these issues). In any case, this bug is minor (and apparently esoteric) enough that I don't really see the need to reopen it. Just thought I would comment.
