I've noticed kwrite crashes with the same error message when I try to load any sftp file ...

That line means it is a downstream packaging issue.  Please report to (k)ubuntu developers.

Same error on OpenSuse 12.2:
kate: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkateinterfaces.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN11KActivities16ResourceInstanceC1EmP7QObject

I got this after upgrading Kwrite to version 4.10.2 from the official OpenSuse repos.
It did not help to install Kwrite from the «Upstream KDE» repos for OpenSuse [1].

It sure looks like a packaging issue, but we can rule out missing dependency on the library — in my case, the incompatible library _is_ installed when removing and reinstalling Kwrite.
