But that is not what it says, maybe you should stop guessing and making 
things up. Why not take the docs for what they say, or ask upstream.

Yes, "bash -c ..." was an error on my part, and I do have a .profile 
with the relevent bits just in case Konsole was lying by using sh 
instead of the indicated SHELL=/bin/bash... as it turns out that is not 
relevent to this bug.

Debian's Konsole behaviour differs from both documented and past 
behaviour in a way that cripples the use of sessions. Either Debian's 
Konsole is broken, Konsole is broken, or the behaviour changed and the 
documentation didn't... any of those situations warrants a bug report 
and no amount of maybes, guesses, or attempts to remember on your part 
is going to change that.
