This bug actually still exists for me even after OS reinstall. When telling kate to remember the last session, the "Last Session" variable of ~/.kde/share/config/katerc should change from blank to "mysession.katesession", but this doesn't happen, so when you open up kate, it always starts with a new window. I tried manually editing the above file with that value, but upon one of the updates it got overwritten again.
1) In ~/.kde/share/config/katerc change the Last Session line to "Last Session=" with nothing after it
2) Open Kate and set it to remember "load last-used session" (if it isn't already)
3) Open a file with Kate and close and reopen the window

See the following question I opened on askubuntu: http:// askubuntu. com/questions/ 57855/how- do-i-get- kate-to- restore- last-used- session
Another way to reproduce this bug:
1) In ~/.kde/ share/config/ katerc change the Last Session line to "Last Session=" with nothing after it
2) Open Kate and set it to remember "load last-used session" (if it isn't already)
3) Open a file with Kate and close and reopen the window
