SUMMARY
Occasionally the tiling editor stops working. When Meta+T is pressed, kwin prints the following log:

Failed to load QUrl("file:///usr/share/kwin/effects/tileseditor/qml/main.qml"): (file:///usr/share/kwin/effects/tileseditor/qml/main.qml:15:1: module "org.kde.KWin.Effect.WindowView" is not installed
    import org.kde.KWin.Effect.WindowView 1.0
    ^)

When this happens, I usually find it useful to go into System Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects and disable/enable Tiling Editor. But it may not always work, and I would then try to toggle other "Window Management" effects.

Not sure how to reproduce, it just happens randomly.
