The patch in the review ticket is one iteration less than the patch that was committed. The committed patch will prompt you for password in the ::authenticateKeyboardInteractive() function and that patch has been tested for all the scenarios listed in the review ticket. IOW, you should not have any of these problems in KDE 4.9 series. The patch cannot be back ported for a couple of reasons. It contains new strings and it uses a feature in the password server that is not available in the KDE 4.8 series.
