It has the DOM flag, so expecting DOM Core to work seems reasonable.
From your description, it appears it fails because Konqueror doesn't
implement the DOM properly: there's nothing in DOM Core that says that
setAttribute should fail if setting the attribute would make the
document invalid, and hence it should succeed in adding that attribute.
As such, I'd say Konqueror fails a prerequisite of the tests with the
"dom" flag: having a working DOM implementation.
Given a working DOM implementation, the test seems like a perfectly
reasonable thing to test.
