That's totally understandable from your part. Now the test has clearly failed. 
The regression could either be in Qt or in some part of the KDE PIM stack (not 
the meta package).

With the above and...

... considering it seems happens only in a certain specific case for a certain 
specific option that can be easily overridden by using the editor in it's 
normal, default mode: yes, even if there is a regression it's negligible 
enough to delay things further.

So the autopkg tests did it's job, but the balance between pushing Qt or 
fixing the test/offending code makes it not worth the effort to wait.

KDE PIM is a big stack, which needs to be updated and possibly with a small 
transition involved. We do not want both things tangled together.

There have been fixes in Qt for bugs that might have been used as features, 
it's not the first time this happens.

Exactly, the severity of this bug is small enough to delay things further.

Same here :-)
