Seems this is not a KDE-related issue.
deeeeeeeeeeeeep in nvidia, *might* be bug #344326 (probably is, but no guarantee for the lack of debug symbols in the nvidia blob) nb: nvidia doesn't support framebuffer consoles, check "dmesg | grep -i nvrm" and if it complains about fb consoles being used, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB/Tips_and_tricks#Disable_framebuffer (works on ubuntu as well)
Workaround: fixed by switching Compositor to XRender backend (System Settings -> Display & Monitor -> Compositor -> Rendering backend)
