Although I'm not a KDE developer, I've been looking through the code for the taskbar \
plasmoid, and I found this in \
kdebase/workspace/plasma/applets/tasks/taskgroupitem.cpp:

void TaskGroupItem::removeTask(AbstractTaskItem *item)
{
...snip...
layout()->removeItem(item);
item->setParentItem(0);
queueGeometryUpdate();

It looks like the second line here is setting the parent to 0, which according to the \
QT API makes the item a top level item. I think the item must still be painted for a \
while after it is set to a top level item, and the layout only sets its position \
relative to its parent component, which causes it to be shown in that position \
relative to the top left of the screen. I'm not sure where the item is actually \
destroyed, or why it is completely removed a short time after it is removed from the \
taskbar (possibly to do with the geometry update), but someone probably needs to look \
into this.
