As I already tried to say, I think that's rather a "problem" in the application
that parses your input (e.g. KF5's desktop file parser). Konsole likely doesn't
even see the parts after the first '%%'.

That it worked in the past doesn't necessarily mean that it's correct though...

I see the same behavior (that you report as "broken") when I enter that line in
xterm, even if I replace "konsole" with "xterm":
xterm -e echo "foo" && sleep 3 && echo "bar" && sleep 3 && echo "closing"
I.e. the new xterm window doesn't even show up, and "bar" and "closing" appear
in the original xterm window.

IMHO, you need to add quotes as mentioned.
