It is indeed broken.

In void KateProjectWorker::loadFilesEntry(), "fullFilePath" is set like this:
            fullFilePath = dirPath + filePath;

without checking whether filePath is already an absolute path.
So if the list of files in the kateproject file already contains absolute paths, 
the base directory is prepended to those absolute paths, which results in bad 
paths.

I could check QFileInfo::isAbsolute(), but the comment says that's too slow.
If nobody else is faster, I'll do something in the next days.
