This is no bug, at least not at the position that you describe here.
Autologin CAN not be possible when the $HOME is encrypted, as this would be 
nonsense in a security's POV.

So there is a bug, yes, but it should be:
1. When setting up autologin (in systemsettings), KDE should check if that user 
has an enrypted $HOME dir, and if so, prevent from setting AutoLoginEnable to 
true.
2. If someone manually in /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager (as default from 
KDE) sets this to true, this script should not give out this cryptic message.
Instead there should be a check in this script wether the dir is encrypted, and 
if so AND AutoLoginEnabled, return to kdm.
tis would be a workaround tough.
