Just for the record:
Sometimes the truth is not that digital.
It appears to be that there is a relation with an upstream change that
affects anything except Systemd.
krunner starts applications with cwd "/" with init system other than
systemd (openrc, runit, ...)
https://bugs.kde.org/432975
Plasma appears to use different code paths for systemd and non systemd
startup:

Will be looking with upstream and/or Debian's other init team whether a
solution can be found or… apply a work-around.
Best,
Martin
