I may be wrong, but I think this is *feature*, not bug ;).  I finally
realized after reading your report (especially description how to reproduce
it).  Konsole prints this error message each time program executed for
given session (typically it's shell) exits with non-zero exit status.
Shells exit with exit status of last executed command.  If you type
non-existent command, "its" exit status is 127, which is then used by shell
as it's exit status.

Anyway, I agree that it's quite annoying feature (at least sometimes / for
some users).  Maybe it should be configurable.  Try filing wishlist bug on
KDE's bug tracking system.
