Do you have a standard wallet set in the control center 
(Security & Privacy -> Digital Wallet)?  
That's been the reason for this problem on my system, there was nothing defined. 
I created a new wallet with the new button (I called it kdewallet, I guess 
that's the standard name anyway) and set it as standard wallet. 
(I didn't report a bug because I was manually messing with my config files 
at the time and I still think that's what caused it...)
