I'd say it's actually {GPL-2 GPL-3} at present:

#  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
#  modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
#  published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
#  the License or (at your option) version 3 or any later version
#  accepted by the membership of KDE e.V. (or its successor approved
#  by the membership of KDE e.V.), which shall act as a proxy
#  defined in Section 14 of version 3 of the license.

Obviously there is no possible difference until there's a GPL-4, but at
that point GPL-2+ would be incorrect if KDE e.V. does not accept the new
version.

{GPL-2+ GPL-3+} is redundant in any case since it's exactly equivalent
to GPL-2+.
