I had been using the very unofficial/unsupported "pre-packages" of KDE 4, but never installed any manually built packages (as I found KDE to be a bit of a pain to build and install anyway). At some point, one of the core packages must have left behind e.g. a configuration file that subsequently broke the HTTP kioslave. It must have been something in the /usr hierarchy, since I didn't touch anything else.
So to clarify, I uninstalled packages related to KDE until the kde4 structure in /usr/share didn't contain any more files recognized by dpkg -S, and then deleted the rest. After reinstallation, everything was back to normal.
