this should generally work, but the answer is "it depends".

In this case, I think it's a bug in kde-settings which owns
/usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list
It currently contains
application/pdf=kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop;
which is no longer correct, it should say
application/pdf=okularApplication_pdf.desktop

Mind filing a bug?
