I'm not sure if you have solved this issue on your own.
But I'm aware that kcfinder github hasn't been updated in over 2 Years (I suspect is now "Abandonware")
This being said, I've been maintaining some of the bugs on kcfinder including this one (for ProDev Ltd), Currently in my fork. I've fixed following bugs with the Image Service with version 3.12
- multiple images being uploaded upon drag/drop EventHandler gets applied each time you change directory, or create new directory. Thus multiple drop handlers result in multiple calls to Upload function
- PNG image uploads result with Transparent Backgrounds being repalced with Black Background Relevant Question
- Sub Directory Symlink Image selection bug fix for Unix I don't really remember specifics of this one, since I fixed it 8 months ago
You can find my revision(s) on prodev kcfinder fork
