Richard,

I am not sure why you think there is a violation of Kirchhoff.

The current law is unchanged. The analysis of the voltage law is much
more complicated, but not incorrect.

The situation is not really any different than the use of retarded
potentials for radiation. One must carefully keep track of the loop
voltages with consideration for time and space differences, but there is
no fundamental difference in the physics.

For distributed networks, the Kirchhoff voltage calculation is difficult
(intractable). It is not impossible, but it is unnecessary due to the
existence of the much more friendly transmission line formulations.
