With KF5 aiming to be "just" a modular set of extensions to Qt 5, why not leave it like that, and just push the KDE devs to implement the file dialogs in something that's reasonably small and standalone?
(Some) Previous transitions of KDE features into Qt's code base have been done taking into account only/mostly Linux specifics, leaving devs on other platforms (like Mac/OS X) with little choice but to patch Qt in some cases. Adding specific code to an extension library is usually preferable to patching Qt ...
