You did symlink the contents ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/default to
/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default, right? In my case
~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/default existed but was mostly empty.

I don't _think_ kde-default.png has any effect here. (Honestly, I have no idea
what it's for.) I suppose, to be absolutely sure, you could replace
/usr/share/wallpapers/Elarun/contents/images/2560x1600.png with your preferred
image, but that seems a bit overkill.

Just to clarify, here's what I did:
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/default
rm -r ./*
ln -s /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/* ./
cp metadata.desktop metadata.desktop.orig
rm metadata.desktop
cat metadata.desktop.orig | sed s/Elarun/$mytheme/g > metadata.desktop # I
really used nano, but you get the idea. ;)

Then I re-selected the "Air" (change "default" above for others) theme in
System Settings, locked the screen, and there was my background.
