Bug Description
If you resave an illustrator SVG in Inkscape, it means it can't be opened in Illustrator again.
Inkscape 0.46dev Dec.29 build, Windows Vista
[Saving an Illustrator file with layers as SVG and opening it in Inkscape, not only doesn't Inkscape recognise the Layers (which simply use <g id="Layername"> , where Inkscape use proprietary Inkscape tags), it opens up as having no layer at all, not even a Default one. It is problematic recreating the Layers, as layers will automatically go above all the non-layered objects.
When importing Illustrator SVGs, Inkscape should be able to recognise Illustrator's layers. ] [This part of the bug is a dupe of bug 179680 - Tom Davidson]

It cant be opened in illustrator again? Does it give an error or anything? That actually sounds like a bigger bug than the layers thing. As that is just we dont support their fudge for layers, whereas the not opening breaks the "we write standard svg that should open anywhere" philosophy. May just be AI has rubbish SVG import and cant cope with non svg namespace tags or something in which case its not our issue, but thats something we need to resolve.
