I'm going to do this (probably even tomorrow).

Well, I used kdevelop.kdevprj (which is a custom project) without such 
effects you write about, (cp kdevelop.kdevprj.saved kdevelop.kdevprj).
Also qextmdi.kdevprj works well (www.geocities.com/gigafalk/qextmdi.htm).
And also some other custom projects I usually use.
Can you try it with these 2 firstly mentioned ones, please? And also, 
does your patch still work well with them?

Yes, it's also the day of tagging KDE-3.0.2.
