After some serious investigation I think I've found a workaround that seems to
have fixed my personal issue, at least until I ever use kmenuedit again.

Using Kfind I did a deep search and discovered that all the app entries I
deleted using kmenuedit had their desktop files moved to
~/.local/share/kglobalaccel. Moving or deleting those desktop files from that
folder removed the entries from the kcm_keys "Applications" section.

However, interestingly they were then suddenly showing up further down in the
"System Services" section. After some more digging the only mentions I could
find of some of those applications on my entire system were in the
applications-kmenuedit.menu file. Carefully deleting the remaining mentions of
those files there somehow removed them from kcm_keys altogether. 

This suggests to me, as far as the 'dummy application entries' bug goes, this
may be more of a kmenuedit bug than kcm_keys. Why does deleting entries send
desktop files to the kglobalaccel folder? Then again, why did mere mentions of
those applications in applications-kmenuedit.menu cause those entries to show
up in kcm_keys, but only if they were previously moved to kglobalaccel.

It's a strange cascade of issues to be sure. Maybe the simplest investigation
would be the first question of why those desktop files get moved to
kglobalaccel in the first place.
