No, it is a bug. I did some more searching, it is bug 37780 in KDE:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37780
And it seems not to be fixed (funny, I haven't seen it lately).
Anyway, what is happening, is not just that you have to leave the
directory where a device is mounted (this is the wanted behaviour you
describe above). Now, you actually have to exit Konqi entirely, even if
you're just using it as a web browser, to umount something that you have
visited with the running Konqi... That's the bug.
