Hi,

from your description, this should work as intended, if the build
contains your altered KIO.

Kate does nothing special there, just the usual linking with it
and doesn't do any special handling to load e.g. the io slaves in
a different way.

Perhaps check with ldd if the kate binary really links to the proper 
stuff
and if the values of the QT_PLUGIN_PATH things match the expectations.
