This happens because Shift+Left and Shift+Right are the default keyboard shortcuts for switching tabs, so Konsole eats them itself. Maybe they should be passed on to the terminal if there's only one tab?
You can change those actions (switching tabs) shortcuts to something else; having a shortcut that does something when it's multiple tabs and something else when it's just one tab woul confusing... :)
