I'm ok with the change, but it seems this area is still buggy in any case...

"the location bar must be restored to the URL of the content currently 
displayed" doesn't work here, e.g. when typing ~/foo.exe (yes a windows 
executable, everything else I tried got embedded) in the location bar in a tab 
that shows www.kde.org, doesn't result in a "revert" of the location bar url.

Generally speaking, I'm not sure that it's such a problem that the location bar 
doesn't match the contents. This happens all the time -- e.g. when you start 
typing in the location bar ;) And this even gets saved when switching between 
tabs, very much on purpose.

So maybe we just should not revert the location bar contents, just leave what 
the user typed. That's what the user in 270723 asks for, that's what my testing 
with foo.exe shows too (i.e. it's already the current behavior in some cases), 
and that's consistent with "we preserve what the user has typed" (already the 
case currently, when editing the location bar, without hitting Enter, and 
switching tabs).
