I do confirm the problem.

More generally, the "Malformed URL" message appears when one enters a local folder from somewhere else.
Examples :

* Starting Konqueror in ~
* Open a pdf (local) and then press "back" to go back to the folder
* Open an internet page, then click on a bookmark which points to a local folder.

In all of these case, I get "Malformed URL". This is 100% reproducible.

This bug was already mentioned upstream quite a long time ago as a side note of another bug (Konqueror crashes on splitting local directory ... )

Confirming Laurent's comment, I start Konq in ~ and I get the popups on every load and if you load a file, when returning back to folders.

Closing in favor of upstream report, since this needs to be resolved in KDE, rather than Kubuntu.
Please refer to the upstream report for further status updates. Thank you.
