No, it is not a corner case; that would be a bug. Please send the syslog
(gzipped!) of the installation. It can be found under /var/log/installer/
on the installed system. (No need to CC d-qt-kde for that!)

We can do that relatively simply by preseeding that answer to the correct
value (if using sudo has been selected and kde is set as the desktop
environment to install) and adding kdesudo to the kde-desktop task.
Side note: I wonder how we ensure gksu is available on the first CD. It is
only recommended by gnome-utils (pulled in by gnome-desktop-environment).
It is not listed explicitly in either the gnome-desktop task or
debian-cd.
