Also the following works:

% ~/.config/autostart> cat krunner.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[de_DE]=
Comment=
Exec=/usr/bin/krunner --daemon --replace
GenericName[de_DE]=
GenericName=
Icon=
MimeType=
Name[de_DE]=krunner
Name=krunner
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

Not nice, but it works.

I added this via the autostart manager.

Could indeed be:

% dpkg -L plasma-workspace | grep krunner | grep -v 'linux-gnu'
/usr/bin/krunner
/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-krunner.service
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.krunner.service
/usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.krunner.desktop
/usr/share/krunner
/usr/share/krunner/dbusplugins
/usr/share/krunner/dbusplugins/plasma-runner-baloosearch.desktop

% cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.krunner.service
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.kde.krunner
Exec=/usr/bin/krunner
SystemdService=plasma-krunner.service

So what may also work, is just removing that dbus service file, what do 
you think, Lorenzo? Trying this. Will report back.

Ciao,
