Anyways if opensuse works it only can be either kernel or xserver. If you have both on the same version as on opensuse it should behave the same way. That's for the crashes at least.
The rest sounds like being a consequence of kwin crashing. Like losing its settings and such.
Hmmm, well Lappy's oS TW is on a later kernel [4.11.x], but i never bothered with xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 on that; i just used TW "out of the box".
Back in Tower, just a few moments ago, i logged into a 2nd user account [which i'd previously not configured, ie, presumably its Plasma settings were standard default [not the heavily personalised ones of my main account]. So i then also just now did configure its Desktop Effects & Screen Edges... then triggered the Desktop Grid view, & moved a window to another VD. KWin crashed... identical symptoms. Sigh.
I have not downloaded the 17.06 ISO - as i wrote, i did the upgrade of 17.03 with Update Manager, so i don't have a 17.06 LiveUSB. But say i choose to boot from my existing 17.03 Live USB, then setup its KWin config analogous to my real Maui, & test again with DG & dragging windows. If it does crash, then what would that prove? Oppositely, if it does not crash, then as you said it would imply my real Plasma config is bad... but then what?
