And why didn't you report that earlier?

I can't reproduce any of this, using the same distribution and KDE
version, and have never seen this behavior. Could you please create a
new user and try again? If that works, something is fishy in your
configuration, so you should erase all amarok* files in
$HOME./kde/share/config/

Wild guess IMHO. To really identify a culprit you should start amarok
from a konsole in debug mode, and look at the relevant output when
this happens:
start amarok with the -d option, close it and do it again, so the
debugging is enabled.
