this is resolved on my system.

over the weekend, i reinstalled Kubuntu on this machine.  i purposely didn't
retain my KMail or Akonadi data, since i wanted a blank slate.  after
installing KDE 4.6.4 (from ppa:kubuntu-ppa) and Kontact Suite 4.6.0 (from
ppa:kubuntu-ppa/experimental), i logged out of X and did ``rm -rf ~/.config
~/.local ~/.kde`` before logging back in.

after that, i no longer see this issue.  even better, this resolved several
other issues:
  * all folders and messages seem to load *much* faster.
  * i no longer need to wait for a folder to load entirely before listing its
messages.
  * i no longer need to wait for all folders to load before previewing any
messages.

this is especially peculiar since all of the relevant software versions are the
same.  the major differences are:

  * the old setup started as Kubuntu 10.10 with KDE 4.5 and Kontact Suite 4.4,
which was later upgraded to Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6 and Kontact Suite 4.6. 
the new setup is a fresh installation of the latter versions.

  * the old setup had fresh settings for KDE 4.6, but its Kontact Suite
settings were migrated from 4.4 to 4.6.  the new setup has fresh settings for
everything.

i suspect that the latter point is what made the difference.  if you're seeing
any of these issues, try wiping out ~/.config, ~/.local, and ~/.kde.  of
course, back those up first if you value your current settings and data--simply
renaming them should do the trick.  the real culprit might be one or more
specific subdirectories of those directories, but this shotgun approach should
be useful at least to determine whether that's the case.
