Hi,
My Kubuntu Karmic is also affected by this bug, but I managed to find out
exactly when and how happens (at least on my computer).
I hope these findings also apply to EagleScreen's case and others.
Two partitions are needed to reproduce the bug. In my case: the root
partition and another one on /mnt/extra, both ext4.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a console and create a cross-filesystem symlink.
For example: from ~ (in the root partition) to /mnt/extra (root dir of the
other filesystem):
cd ~
ln -s /mnt/extra
2. Open Dolphin and click on the 'extra' link.
3. Back to the console, go to the same directory and create any file:
cd extra
touch notseenindolphin.txt
4. Dolphin doesn't notice the newly created file.
Please note: if you take Dolphin directly to /mnt/extra (not following
the symlink) and delete the file from the command line, Dolphin will
correctly detect the removal and refresh the folder contents!

Dolphin does not refresh current directory for new files.
