Bug Description

If a PDF file is opened with the "Embed Images" option checked and saved as an SVG file, the resulting SVG file cannot be opened in Inkspake. (Failed to open the request file error).

Steps for error:
- Select the "Open..." or "Import..." action and select the PDF file
- Leave "Embed Images" option checked.
- Select the "Save As..." option and save the file as a SVG
- Close Inkscape and attempt to re-open the SVG
- Failed to open requested file error occurs.

Note that SVG files saved from PDFs opened without the "Embed Images" option checked also fail to open on version 0.46 release. Version 0.46-Devel 20198 can open an SVG files from PDF files opened without the "Embed Images" option. Version 0.46 release seems to put the images files from the opened PDF in the wrong location.

In these files there are bad characters.

This is the very same node from both files, the first is imported with images embedded:

<text
       transform="matrix(0.864326,0,0,-1,549.463,99.497)"
       id="text29528"><tspan
         style="fill:#b93292;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:none;font-family:Wingdings;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:5.4373;writing-mode:lr;-inkscape-font-specification:Wingdings-Regular"
         x="0"
         y="0"
         id="tspan29530"></tspan></text>

This is same node imported with images linked:
<text
       transform="matrix(0.86432604,0,0,-1,549.463,99.497)"
       id="text29780"><tspan

This is known bug, but you helped it more near to the reason.
I will mark this bug as duplicate.
