It's possible that Kate doesn't use KIO for local files, but falls back to QFile. It _would_ be possible somehow (e.g. via the QPA plugins) to inject the hack into all Qt applications, but I suggest to improve Dolphin in a way that it shows an error message or even a rename dialog when trying to open or execute such a file.
