I don't believe that is a KDE specific issue. I've seen it in most DE's
It's more of a mount/file system limitation. For whatever reason you have to explicitly tell the file system that if it can't connect to something, to timeout.
Add a timeout to your mount rule and if it ends up being unavailable it'll just timeout instead of freezing your file browser.
