Through DocumentImpl::recalcStyleSelector()? That indeed works on many of
the pages - i.e. www.kde.org, where the visited status on relative links do
work fine -- but my debug output in it doesn't get triggered on the really
simple pages like for example the mail archives at gcc.gnu.org/ml 
(And mail archives are probably the place where the visited link stuff is
the most useful)
