Can confirm. Happens when uninstalling a wallpaper plugin, too.

kcms/wallpaper: reload plugin combobox after model change

Installing, uninstalling, or upgrading a wallpaper plugin causes a
model reset. However the plugin combobox's value is set imperatively,
and not updated after a model reset, so it becomes blank.

To alleviate this, connect to a signal after that happens and refresh
the combobox's contents and current index.
