Hmm, I can't reproduce this here with kate 2.5.9 on Debian unstable.
However there's something missing in your steps, because after
highlighting a line with Shift+down and copying it, the line is still
highlighted and thus pasting with Ctrl+V simply overwrites that line.
Then the cursor is moved at the end of the overwritten line and here
inserting the text again really produces a concatenation.

Doing the same with a block of lines they also get concatenated to the
end of the first selected line, as thats where the cursor moves. If you
think this is wrong, please file a bugreport at bugs.kde.org against
katepart.
