Successfully tested by doing the following:

In a fully up-to-date jammy VM:

    $ sudo apt -y install libkf5config-bin
    $ export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
    $ export KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5
    $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
    firefox.desktop
    $ xdg-settings check default-web-browser firefox.desktop
    /usr/bin/xdg-settings: 734: Bad substitution

Then enabled the jammy-proposed pocket and updated xdg-utils to version 1.1.3-4.1ubuntu1.22.04.1:

    $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
    firefox.desktop
    $ xdg-settings check default-web-browser foobar.desktop
    no
    $ xdg-settings check default-web-browser firefox.desktop
    /usr/bin/xdg-settings: 734: [: x!: unexpected operator
    yes

The result is as expected in all cases. Note the extra "/usr/bin/xdg-settings: 734: [: x!: unexpected operator" on stderr in the last test. This is not expected, but it is harmless as the output on stdout is as expected. I will report a follow-up upstream bug to get that addressed.
