I don't recall the details to say if it is by design or just because it was 
not needed at time this was developed, but it is non trivial to turn a .kml 
into a valid GDAL dataset. So the code currently only probably works with some 
formulations of KML, like the one at
http://mw1.google.com/mw-earth-vectordb/kml-samples/mv-doqq.kml

A first step would be to file a ticket in GDAL Trac with the KML file that shows 
the issue.

I'm not aware of anyone actively working on the driver currently. So as often 
in open source, the key to make things go forward is either to contribute 
patches or fund someone to do the work.

Best regards,
