I don't have KDE installed right now (thanks to Xfce !), but I'm pretty the 
window got focus with kwin. It does with fluxbox. So it looks like some window 
managers do it, some don't. The question is then: should they ? I feel that it 
should: if the window was raised as a result of the operation, why shouldn't 
it get the focus, if I always have to manually click on it to give it the 
focus ? I can't think of a mutt/gvim scenario where I'd create a new mail 
editing buffer if I didn't want to edit it (give it focus). It's the least 
surprising thing to be done.

Thanks for looking into this
