Let me try to understand it better. This ioctl sets the LNBf voltage

to what's there at "val". If zero, it sets to 13V; otherwise to 18V:
   if (ioctl (d->frontend, FE_ENABLE_HIGH_LNB_VOLTAGE, &val) < 0 && val)

You're saying that exiting just after setting the voltage and running Kaffeine
will make it work?

If so, it seems that either the LNBf settings are wrong in Kaffeine, or the
channel settings are wrong. That could happen, for example, if the Kaffeine's
scanfile.dvb definitions for a channel says that it is horizontal, but the
channel is, in fact vertical.

What channels are falling? What's your LNBf?
