It is a bug, indeed. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68732 .

This "misfeature" causes much more confusion than solution, and it
forces something that is not natural. KNode sets a followup-to header to
groups that you are not subscribed. Most of time, it also sets stupid
followups (like now, this discussion is much more relevant to D thant to
D.announce, and your KNode set it to D.announce). To finish, if people
replying to your message don't notice, they end up posting to newsgroups
they are perhaps not even subscribed, and will never see their own
posts. Even if they notice, it is a pain to manually fix the destination.

This behavior of KNode is more annoying than anything, and it makes it
looks like cross-posts are something evil, while in fact they are useful
and there is a perfect reason for them.

Well... this is getting way off-topic...
