No, it IS a "problem" in 3.1. I checked with one of the kate devels (he was a 
bit annoyed by this as well) and what seems to be the case is: 

Up to 3.2, F12 is used by _katepart_ for dynamic wrapping, in 3.2 this is 
moved somewhere else (possibly F10)

_Kate_ however (as opposed to katepart) has a plugin (OpenHeader) that ALSO 
uses F12 (for source/header switching) that overrides the katepart shortcut 
if it is loaded. (This is why, from 3.2, katepart's shortcut is moved.)

(I don't know what is true for 3.0, but I don't think it even had dynamic 
wrapping.)

This leaves a (minor) mess. The best is probably to go back to F12 for our 
source/header switch (it's a comfortable shortcut, and compatible with Kate), 
but this will only work if the users on 3.1 (and 3.0?) manually change their 
default katepart dyn wrap shortcut away from F12.
