Is it normal that every KDE (4.4.0) application is generating an awful

Currently, after about 2 hours of uptime, my ~/.xsession-errors is about
12MB big and full with those debug messages.

The "debug" USE flag is globally disabled.  What's going on?  I doubt
this is intended behavior.

the debug flag has nothing to do with this.
Why don't you open a nice bug at bugs.kde.org?

I wanted to make sure first that this isn't some sort of configuration problem on my end. Can you confirm that this happens on your system too?
