I think I had a similar problem. If I remember correctly, I solved by going to 
the KWallet manager. In the Contents tab, I expanded the LibKGAPI folder, then 
the Maps entry. It contained a single entry entry (ending with 
apps.googleusercontent.com): clicking on it, the right panel displayed key-
value pair for each of my two Google accounts. Deleting these entries solved 
the problem. I don't remember if doing this had negative side effects (such as 
having to download again all the folder contents).

I hope this helps
