The missing lib prefix for MODULE targets is something that kde's cmake
stuff has enforced. Stock CMake projects using MODULE targets end up with
libfoo.so. The only difference between MODULE and SHARED is that MODULE
targets get no SONAME and hence no libfoo.so.x.y.z symlinks.

I believe there's no particular reason (but can't recall 100% from the KDE4
porting times) why the lib prefix is dropped for kde plugins, except that
the existing plugin-loading-code in kdelibs back then required foo.so for
plugins.
