Discussed on #kde-devel a couple days ago, the consensus from distro packagers present anyway (Trigger7 and myself mostly, but thiago wasn't convinced yet...) was that
kde4-config --path data
should have the value of 
DATA_INSTALL_DIR (/usr/share/kde4/apps here)
come before 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/apps (/usr/share/apps)

I took a look at the kstandarddirs.cpp code, and unfortunately to my non-coder eyes, this would be non-trivial to fix cleanly.
