What's really weird is that I never got this message before. Not from kded4. I am running KDELibs v4.14.10-20-g150d983 which I apparently installed on August 17th. That's within the previous uptime, could be I missed it because of that (though I'm pretty sure I restarted kded4 and other apps from which I got the message).

I think it's just not being started. When I start it manually things appear to be fine, but for some reason it appears I also have to start knotify4 manually (both through kdeinit).
What may not help is the fact that the ~/.kde/tmp-<Host> and ~/.kde/tmp-<Host> entries are symlinks pointing to directories in $TMPDIR, which are removed on reboot (but the symlinks are of course left in ~/.kde). That has always been the case, though. Did anything change which might not like stale symlinks in ~/.kde ? ~/.kde/cache-<Host> points to a directory in /var/tmp that does survive reboots.

I just hope that latest security update for 10.9 that I installed today too didn't botch anything.

Oh well ...
