I am leaning to the same conclusion now. This is a konqueror oversight.

- A website should know better when it requests Arial. Arial should then give 
enough unicode coverage and, most likely, so should Liberation Sans.

- When a page requests Sans rather than Arial, DejaVu is a better choice.

- On an international desktop, DajaVu is better, because of better coverage.

So the current configuration is pretty reasonable. Liberation is a substitute 
for Microsoft fonts and that is it. It is not a universal desktop font. 
Konqueror is wrong ignoring Arial in favor of Sans-serif. The konqueror 
behavior is unlikely to change before KDE4.
