Seems to be a duplicate of BUG #1142213 ; the workaround described there makes emacs seemingly start normally again.

Specific steps I took:
  * Install package kde-config-gtk-style
  * KDE System settings / Application Appearance / GTK (in the left sidebar)
    * GTK2 theme: Raleigh
    * GTK3 theme: Ambiance

The looks are a matter of taste, but it resolves the problem for now.

Additional information: this system was just upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 via Ubuntu 12.10.
