The correct unix behavior is that every user has access only to its data. No 
root data should be available to regular users. And more: internal viewers 
data is located in each user $KDEHOME/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup, (in root's 
case,  /root/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup) so I don't see how other users 
could access this data in the past. But I only started to follow KPilot 
development after KDE 3.2, so I can be wrong.

I really don't understand how this could work in the past.

Me too. But AFAIK, from now on, try to sync using your user, instead of using 
root. If you can't access the data syncing as your user, then is a bug.
