Same problem here. I have in "Active Desktop Borders" setting: "Only when moving windows". 

When KDE starts it doesn't work, but if I do this:
1. "Always enabled"
2. "Apply"
3. "Only when moving windows"
4. "Apply"

..then it works. Again in reboot it does not (when kde starts).

OK, I'm having some weird behavior with active desktop borders. i'll just list what i did and tell you the results.
I'm running kernel 2.6.2_rc1 on mandrake linux.
1. In the Multiple Desktops portion of the kde kontrol center i selected Mouse wheel over desktop switches desktop.
2. In the Window Behavior Portion I had (in the Advanced tab) Only when moving windows selected. 
3. I tried moving xmms to another desktop and it wouldnt't work.
4. I unselected the Mouse wheel over desktop switches desktop option and hit Apply.
5. I tried to move a window which had a border and it active desktops worked. 
6. I tried to move xmms, active desktop didn't work.
7. On a hunch, I re-selected Mouse wheel over desktop switches desktop option. I tested to see that it (mouse wheel) worked (and it did). Then I tried to move a windows with borders (kwin managed) and it (active desktop) did switch desktops.
8. I then tried to move windows without borders (xmms) and Active desktop didn't work anymore.
9 I repeated steps 4,5, and for step 6 used gkrellm. Active desktop didn't work.
10. I did step 7 this time using the Always enabled option, and got the same results.

Conclusion
Active desktop + mouse wheel + kwin managed window = working active desktop
Active desktop + mouse wheel + unmanaged (no win border) window = broken active desktop

This seems related to this bug but if you want me to open up a new bug I will.
