Will try that when I fire up my machine this weekend. From what I gather that workaround is actually something you would want in terms of security.
Comment #13 on the KDE bug report:

My 2c is this is something that KDE *should* fix in kdesu because it means that kdesu has been taking advantage of an exploit in sudo for years, perhaps decades. Basically, it's the same mechanism that the CVE exploits, and that's not a good thing. To use a security hole for functionality sake, even if unknown at the time, is generally bad practice.
