Ok.

There is, but I don't think this can have anything to do with it. My
guess is it's some problem with the kio-slave handling http. That
actually sounds like something that could possibly go wrong while
packaging, although I wouldn't know, where to look...

One thing to try:
- Edit rkward/windows/rkthmlwindow.cpp, replace
    KWebPage (window, KIOIntegration | KPartsIntegration)
  with
    KWebPage (window, NoIntegration)
near the top.

Oh, actually, one more thing now comes to mind as something that I had
to fix on the frameworks branch for related symptoms (commit
b8f1cd6295193d9d8058facf09669a0fcea19dbc). That might be worth a try,
too, but not trivial to backport, unfortunately (and no idea, why it
should be needed, now, and only in the bundle). If you could try the
above first?
