You can run 

kdedebugdialog --fullmode

to write the debug outs for KDirWatch to a file to see what mode 
KDirWatch is using. 

I see the following line at the beginning of the file:

kio (KDirWatch): Available methods: Stat, FAM, Inotify

When closing catalogmanager it states something like this:

kio (KDirWatch): inotify remove false false

So, it seems, here it is using inotify, which does not trigger the bug
that often. At least I am not able to reproduce it.

I will try to get KDirWatch to use "stat" only like on my old system
and then comment out the calls to kapp->processEvents() to see
if this helps.
