I don't see why this is a bug. 

First it is correct that the password is requested to open the wallet after a
fresh login / reboot, since the wallet is closed at that time. No way it should
be opened without a password ! How anyway ? By storing the password on disk
during reboot ?

The strategy after a login is: all applications that require access to a wallet
ask for it, the walletmanager fires the authorization dialog for the first
applciation in the queue. All other requests are kept back, since one dialog is
enough to open the wallet. So in the end it is a question of order and speed in
which the applications are started upon login. 

The fact that things change slightly for you most likely depend on either
kopete not starting when being closed before logout, this might be because you
restore the last session used. Or simply because the order or speed in which
the two applications request for opening the wallet. 

Whatever is the case: there is no way around the fact that the wallet has to be
opened after login / reboot, triggered first by which application ever.
