I think the problems here is the easy misunderstanding of how the notify list works, partially do to the kvirc "registered users" interface that is misleading.
A good read of "/help notify_list" explains how it works. I'll try to summarize it here:

When you are connected to an irc server, you can just check if a nickname is online (using ISON), so a nick change is considered as a disconnection.
If boolUseIntelligentNotifyListManager is enabled, once kvirc knows that a nickname is online, it will try to match the user's hostmask, too (using USERHOST).
At least, some irc servers (only UnrealIRCD, afaik) offers the "WATCH" method: instead of having to poll every N seconds for the nicknames you want to check, you instruct the server with a list of nicknames, and it will inform you when those nicks are online.
