Perspective effect wrong when drawing size changed

[Jeff Bronks]

Try this procedure with 0.46:
1. Create new drawing with A4 page size.
2. Select text tool and type some text.
3. Convert text to path.
4. Draw trapezoidal box below text. This will define the perspective to be applied by the Perspective Effect tool.
5. Select the text and then the box.
6. Do Effects -> Modify Path -> Perspective.
7. Observe that text is correctly transformed into box.
8. Hit Ctrl-Z to undo step 6.
9. Change page size to A0.
10. Move text and box to new centre of page.
11. Repeat steps 5 & 6.
12. Observe that text is incorrectly transformed to some random place outside the box, and to the wrong shape.

Resizing the page adds a 'transform' attribute to all content - the script for this extension doesn't work well with (nested) groups (layers are just special groups) that have an explicit transform attribute.
