I just tried that with konsole 4.14.3, and it doesn't do that either.

And actually I don't see how it could, and how this is a problem in konsole...
I think it's the shell that interprets '&&' *before* the command is called.
So in the end you actually run this:
$ konsole -e echo "foo"
$ sleep 3
$ echo "bar"
$ sleep 3
$ echo "closing"
And that's the behavior I see when trying that here, i.e. "bar" and "closing"
are printed in the original konsole window (if run in konsole).

And the first command does open a new konsole window but it closes immediately
again (so you might not see it at all), because the "--noclose" is missing.

Btw, the behavior is exactly the same if you use xterm instead of konsole in
the mentioned command.
