This is primarily a result of Qt only being partially exception safe:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/exceptionsafety.html

It is probably not documented separately again on KDE's side.

You can always use exceptions if you make sure they never leave your code into 
Qt's code, e.g. catch them in slots so they don't get into the signal/slot 
code.

Cheers,
Kevin
