That's strange, and probably a bug. The plasma integration plugin does not have 
runtime dependencies on anything that is only available through an active 
Plasma5 desktop, to my knowledge. At least you shouldn't get a crash in 
dolphin. If you only get it once it may indicate that something required isn't 
yet running and is started automatically, but you still shouldn't get a crash. 
If DrKonqi appears and gives a useable backtrace you could file a bug report 
for this.

That is without setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME I presume?
In that case you get Qt's fallback internal implementation of the 
plasma-integration plugin, though I don't really understand how that can give 
you real KDE file dialogs.

Presumably, or the forums. Cross your fingers though that this doesn't irk 
someone who feels that KDE look-and-feel should be exclusive to the Plasma 
desktop. I know there's at least 1 dev who already told me he planned to take 
down some comparable backdoor, "just because he could".
