It should suffice to enter a filename of your choice without extension. If that 
gives an error it would be best to file a bug report on http://bugs.kde.org 
with an exact description of what happened (or did not happen) so that 
developers can have a go at it and try to reproduce that.

What you also could try is to run kontact from the commandline like so:

kontact >logfile 2>&1

This produces a file 'logfile' with the output that you get on the commandline 
when you run kontact by running it from the shell (just try it to see what I 
mean).
But before you do that we should wait for a comment from a developer if that 
would be as helpful as it sounds at the moment because I am definitely not a 
dev ;-)

And then you add your logfile to the bug report.
