BR24434 might very well similar to this. The difference is that the "Save 
Image As" code is handled by khtml itself, which makes it easier to solve:

khtml_ext.cpp:456

      if(!saved)
      {
        /*KIO::Job *job = */ KIO::copy( url, destURL );
        // TODO connect job result, to display errors
      }

In this case we should be able to pass MetaData to the copy-job.

Cheers,
Waldo
