As far as sieve is concerned, USER.sieve is the script, still exist and 
is still active.

Sounds like all you have done is removed a required component of the 
script being an include file. Sieve doesn't know this, all it knows is 
USER.sieve is the script, and its active, so it runs it, which fails 
cause as you know, missing an include file.

The issue is that you have a corrupted sieve script (USER.sieve). I 
would not consider this a sieve issue. I would consider this a poor 
design by the makers of whatever control panel you using to update your 
includes as it should rebuild the script after making such changes. I 
think your language choice could be confusing, you aren't deleting "a 
script". You are deleting an include file for "the script" being 
USER.sieve.

My educated guess is, yes this is a KMail issue.
