Yes it's Kubuntu's revised configuration panel. It was never upstreamed back into KDE 3 as far as I'm aware. I would expect it to work fine on any none-Ubuntu system however.
I successfully built the package on Slackware but the app refuses to run. I submitted a backtrace here on the list. If Tim does not respond today I'll open a bug report.
I'll be sure to keep a back-up of my profile and analyze it for more instances of the KDE string.
I read your comments in bug report 892. I will respond there about your unique situation.
I'll test it with a new user if I have a moment, but also see my comment in the migration bug. It seems the cause behind my issues was indeed a failed migration. Also see my comment in the migration bug about that.
The cause of failure is a sym linked profile directory. With the XDG updates that no longer will succeed and you need two distinct profile directories.

Thanks. As I can't yet get systemsettings to run, does that app allow changing the view to classic tree view?
Regarding whether tde-systemsettings needs patching, probably not, now that I understand your unique situation. I likely will patch anyway for file name conformance. Additionally, two of the desktop files in tde-systemsettings are the same as those provided in tdebase and they should be like-for-like or renamed to prevent overwriting.
tde-systemsettings does not appear anywhere in the TDE menu. How do Kubuntu users normally access systemsettings?
