I guess it is comming from index <-> folder conflict.

You could try to compact your folders ("File->compact all folders").  Even
better try to turn on Compact all folders on exit in File->settings, Misc tab.

That way kmail will phisically delete all deleted mails and regenerate index
from folders. 

Or you could try to simplify your filters...
