That's interesting.  We just paid a bounty many, many times that size to
fix all kinds of other issues in Kontact for Zimbra interoperability
including implementing CardDAV, CalDAV, fixing the time zone issues,
piles of fixes.  This was all done by the Trinity project which is
maintaining and fixing KDE3 for those who feel KDE4 is not quite ready
or have other reasons not to upgrade
(http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net).  We would be interested in
supporting an effort to fix this in Trinity.  I would hope with a
working implementation in KDE3, it would be trivial to port to KDE4
along with CardDAV and CalDAV.  Is anyone interested in chipping in with
us?
