I can confirm something similar.

/usr/bin/konsole --type su

This flashes a konsole which closes.

/usr/bin/konsole --type su --noclose

This leaves the terminal open with the message that sudo was not found. My solution was to change the konsolesu.desktop desktop file Exec= command to: tdesu konsole
