I think it means that "bug fixing (closing) rate for KHTML and KJS was lower 
that bug reporting rate against these packages"
you can decode this equation in different ways:
* number of KDE/Konq users increased significantly after 2.1 release, and 
users report much more bugs (than developers can fix)
or
* users report the same number of bugs, but closing rate decreased
or
* Konq is so good that number of outstanding bugs is minor. And these 
outstanding 1190 bugs are last ones :))

Any of these interpretations (except last one which is a joke) doesn't say 
about quality of product (KDE/Konq, in particular)
As of curiosity, you can compare KDE(KHTML+KJS) numbers (900+290) with 
Mozilla:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describekeywords.cgi
in particluar, there are
 425 bugs for CSS1 - http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=css1
 336 bugs for CSS2 - http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=css2
 229 DOM1/DOM2 bugs
and 5231 critical (crash) bugs!

So, may be, number of KDE bugs is too low? ;-)
BTW: I always was wondering about bug numbering for Mozilla. Do they really 
processed over 100 000 bugs? (and closed most of them?)
