The SVG was broken in SVN March 26 trying to workaround an Inkscape copy/paste bug. I think it is fixed now so it works in Mozilla and Inkscape simultaneously. But please let me know if you see anything fishy -- there seems to be a great deal of variability between SVG viewers. Are you seeing this bug with 0.91.2 release, or just the 0.91.2 SVN branch? I'd be surprised by the former (and I can't reproduce it there).
