A work-around:

When googling for one of the messages, I found this thread (in Italian,
which I don't understand): <http://www.linuxmind-
italia.org/index.php?topic=11584.0>.  The last message seems to say that
things worked after he deleted .kde.

I renamed ~/.kde so it would not be found by KDE.  I then ran k9copy via
a ssh -Y session.  It worked!  I assume that hiding .kde is the thing
that made the difference.

After completion, I did a diff -r on the old and current .kde directories.  The 
differences are in these files:
  .kde/share/apps/kconf_update/log/update.log
  .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml
  .kde/share/config/K9Copy
  .kde/share/config/k9copyrc
  .kde/share/config/kdebugrc
  .kde/share/config/kdeglobals
  .kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc


Still seems like a bug.
