I confirmed this Qt5 KDE plugin bug on Kubuntu 16.04

QAction*->text() is returning "&testplugin" for the name when run in KDE. The accelerator ampersand doesn't belong there (it's not there on other Desktop Environments). That's why the plugin can't be found via the menu.

Also confirmed that QAction*->toolTip() returns "testplugin" (which is proper and allows the plugin to be launched via the menu like with other DEs).

Not sure exactly what the best solution is right now, but we should be able to have a fix workaround for this KDE issue in the next release.
