... I suspect this poses a danger if kmail desides to grab the mail in the maildir at the same time it is being written to. Is this a valid concern? Is there a way to avoid the problem?

This is the main selling point of maildir. The mail is first written to the the Maildir/tmp and moved to Maildir/new afterwards. The move operation should be atomic so there is no reson to worry.
