Corresponding bug in the Kolab tracker:

Thanks for the report as well as the fix.

The suggested line will hotfix the behavior but the actual problem  
lies deeper.

The Prefs/file.php driver completely dumps the preferences information into a
serialized array. That is not exactly what saving preferences is about and all
other drivers only save the preference values actually changed.

I should be able to fix that but this means I'll have to transparently convert
the old file format to the new format.

In the meantime it should be okay to use the hotfix as the format  
conversion should not be affected by it.
