This is actually the intended behavior.  
After all, let's say we create an event recurrring weekly on Monday noon, and we let it 
start on Monday 3rd march. When you now change the start date to tuesday 4th, 
korganizer does not assume you want to move the recurrence to tuesday, but rather 
that you want it to recur on all mondays after tuesday 4th.  
 
Actually, recurrences on just one day are only a special case.  You can have events 
recurring on Monday through friday each week. Now if you move the start date of such 
an event, you probably don't want the event to happen on Thursday through Monday 
of every week, do you? 
 
So, either you have the behavior that you report, or you have to shift all recurrences, 
which is also not what people will expect in lots of cases.  
 
Another idea would be to adjust the recurrence if the weekly recurrence is just on one 
day (which happens to be the day of the start date), and in all other cases just leave 
the recurrence untouched. Then, however, people will see inconsistent behavior, and 
it might again not be clear to them how recurrences are handled.  
 
Hmm, difficult problem...
