Well it is highly likely your problem is the result of a simple fact that the 
current version of KWebPage::downloadRequest does not support the "content-
disposition" header. IOW, it does not bother to use the file name suggested by 
the remote server simply because it cannot. A new member function, perhaps 
"void downloadReply(QNetworkReply *)", needs to be added to support that 
functionality. This is something on my TODO list along with another critical 
issue related to downloading of files that require a new API addition to KIO. 
Hopefully, I will have the time to start work on the former and continue my 
ongoing work on the later this coming week...
