Text put on path ignores 'Align Center' on <tspan> after reload

[Julian Stecklina]

Saving and loading a drawing misaligns text that was "Put on Path". This applies to 0.48 and 0.48.1 on Gentoo/x86_64.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new drawing.
2. Draw a straight line.
3. Create a text object with centered text.
4. Select both and do "Text/Put on Path"
    (This is what we want to see. See first screenshot.)
5. Save and close inkscape.
6. Open the drawing again.
7. The text is now misaligned. (See second screenshot)

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.0, 0.48.1 and 0.48+devel r10325 on Mac OS X 10.5.8
(default preferences, default template)

Could you attach the SVG file used for the screenshots?

Depends on how the text is center-aligned (the 'style' attribute of the <tspan> element seems ignored for 'text on path' on reload):

Not reproduced:
1) draw straight line (your line is a curve, btw)
2) create text:
   - click once with the text tool on canvas
   - enter text
   - click on 'Align Center' on the text tool controls bar
     (without highlighting the text)
3) select the text and the path, 'Text > Put on Path'
4) save and reopen

Result: text on path stays centered-aligned on the curve or line

Reproduced:
1) draw straight line
2) create text:
   - click once with the text tool on canvas
   - enter text
   - highlight the text (-> style gets applied to the inner <tspan>)
   - click on 'Align Center' on the text tool controls bar
3) select the text and the path, 'Text > Put on Path'
4) save and reopen

Result: text on path is rendered left-aligned on the curve or line (instead of center-aligned)
