rxvt-unicode has this sort of behaviour on by default, I believe; perhaps it
would be a good example to look to?  From what I've observed it doesn't work on
everything (the default behaviour of ls, for example, does not (because of the
added formatting from sorting, it seems)), but it does for enough that it would
be nice to have.

I haven't looked at the code for rxvt, but maybe they spoof SIGWINCH or
otherwise use tput or export $COLUMNS for arbitrarily large widths and pass it
though an intermediate stage for formatting before display?  (Yeah, it's
clearly going to be more clever than that by a lot).  

As for Konsole, why not make it a first-run option like background colour?
Radio buttons with: 
[ ] Unflowed text
[ ] rxvt text flowing
[ ] Horizontal scroll bar 
...and small illustrative images would be a good compromise, no?

Cheers,
Wyatt
