Fixed with SVN commit #571962 (will appear in KDE 4).  I haven't implemented the word-wrap idea, just allowed lines to "remember" characters that no longer fit on the screen when you resize the window to make it smaller.

The reason this used to happen in Konsole is probably the same reason it happens in Xterm.  Konsole used to store the current screen image in one big chunk of contiguous memory - which means that all lines on the screen always had to be the same length, so characters were lost when resizing the window to make it smaller.
