After thinking about it, I realized this was already possible to achieve 
this effect in Kdenlive. Just copy / paste your clip on the upper track, 
move it slightly to make the time delay. Then mute the upper clip 
(effect->mute) and apply a PIP transition to it. The pip transition 
should have all positions to 0 and opacity set to whatever you want...

Not as simple as a filter, but since this effect will probably not be 
used in so much, I think it is good enough like this.
