KDE would generally consider it a bug if that happened (API compat
broken by a non-major* update), unless it was an interface that already
had a big "BC/SC not guaranteed" warning label.
(* major = e.g. KDE3 -> KDE4)
There may be situations in which such a break would be done anyway, but
there would have to be a strong argument why such change is so critical
as to warrant a compatibility break.
