This is SVN. The revision number will increase all the time someone commits a change (for the whole KDE repository, not only digiKam). digiKam is "just" a folder inside this repository.
If someone makes changes to lets say amarok, revision number will increase. But since digiKam was not changed, its state is still set to an older revision. So nothing is wrong with your installation.

But again it is not said that you install it correctly, I have setup my development environment the way that I can just compile in my source folder in the Eclipse workspace and immediately see changes, although it is not installed system-wide. This speeds up the development process a lot, because you don't have to do "make && su -c "make install"" all the time.
This works as long as I change libs (or in general code) that is not loaded by kdeinit or other parts. But working on kioslaves for example always requires me to actually install digiKam system-wide. So if I made a change, I need to install it, test it, make another change, install again etc.
That digiKam is starting is no indicator of a correct setup. Some libs might be pulled from /usr/lib/kde4, some from the folder the source code lives in. This can be controlled by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, it tells the system were to look for libraries. What is found first will be used. So if somehow a wrong / old lib is found first (in your case by the kioslave), it will use this one and not the updated one you might have pulled and compiled from SVN.
Please again gives us your env variables as the new user from the real KDE4 session. Do not login just by "su - kde4user", you have to do it from KDM and paste the env stuff.
Also make sure if the kioslaves and all libdigikam*.so files in your KDE4 root path have the newest date. So if you installed yesterday, they should have that date and not an old one. If they have not, the libs are copied somewhere else. Try to locate all needed files with "locate -i libdigikam" or something like that.
