This got fixed recently; your version is quite old by now. However, you should always be seeing an icon in the document's tab, to the left of the filename.

There was a known issue with KDevelop,in code that has nothing to do with Kate. I'm not aware of a single comparable bug in Kate.

What widget style are you using? For some reason the rendering of the document-modified state in the titlebar can be turned off by the widget style, but that only makes sense for styles that also provide a window manager theme (which can then use something fancier than an asterisk in the window title to indicate that a document has been modified).
