Ah, ok, so I guess we were both right. :-)

At least this problem is caught by trying to build (so are most of the 
stupid ones, actually, if it is in a clean i.e. KDE-not-installed 
environment).

I like that word "yet". :-) Hopefully it is honest, and in the future 
'make check' /will/ be run. I still think it should be a required part 
of cutting a package, at the least. (Heck, at the rate I'm going, maybe 
you'll even be able to require it of 3.5.7 :-).)
