After further investigation, I have determined that this bug happens with the following settings in Settings -> Configure Kate... -> Session:
 * Application Startup Behavior: Start new session
 * Session Elements -> Include window configuration: disabled

To work around, enable "Include window configuration".

Thanks for the workaround, it works here too.

I think it's not a work around but actual config needed to do that for sessions.
