I'm not sure how you ended up with the kubuntu-ppa backports, but the official backports[1] are the recommended way for running the latest Amarok now. Confusing I know, and I only just recently found out that this is the preferred method and don't know of the right place to make that information clear.
Please try this version and report back with whether this issue still exists and the exact version you're using (''apt-cache policy amarok''). Thanks!
