Unfortunately this is totally normal: KV cards are memory cards, and those 
cards aren't supported by most IFD drivers (because in the beginning nobody 
seemed to have thought of memory cards  when designing PC/SC).

Some manufacturers provide proprietary extensions to support memory cards, 
others allow the use of the protocol "RAW" to talk to such cards (libchipcard 
supports this approach).

So when using IFD drivers in many cases KV cards are inaccessible.
