I got in touch with the author of KRename yesterday, and he fixed this specific bug, along with a bunch of other potential re-occurrences of this bug in KRename release 4.0.8 (which was just released this morning)

The hack fixes recommended here can be skipped entirely, if someone can package up 4.0.8 properly for ubuntu.
