This is the current (4.1 RC1) code:

    static bool has_shown = false;
    const KService::List offers = listBackends();
    if (offers.isEmpty()) {
        if (!has_shown) {
            KMessageBox::error(0, i18n("Unable to find a Multimedia Backend"));
            has_shown = true;
        }
        return 0;
    }
    // Flag the warning as not shown, since if the next time the
    // list of backends is suddenly empty again the user should be
    // told.
    has_shown = false;

In order to get what you got, you need to either get the message from a new process every time, or for some reason the has_shown = false is reached - but I can't think of any scenario that would explain what you see.

Please find out whether the dialog is from the same process every time.
