"Miter limit" display/saving problems

[rickmastfan67]

Inkscape 0.48.1-2
Windows 7 x64

The problem here is that Inkscape is showing one thing, and the Internet browsers (FF7 & IE9) and even Adobe Illustrator (CS4) are showing something completely different.

I've attached an example file showcasing the problem.

The "E" and "N" both show points on the top left in Inkscape with the following settings (Stroke 12; Miter Limit 5). Once saved and then viewed with IE9/FF7 or opened in Illustrator CS4, the sharp points on the top left of the "E" and "N" aren't there.

Also, the other places the points show up, specifically the bottom left of the "E" and "N", when viewed in IE9/FF7 (& Illustrator CS4), they are bigger than what is displayed in Inkscape.

Is Inkscape showing/saving them incorrectly, or does IE9/FF7 have a rendering problem and Illustrator CS4 an opening problem preventing them from being shown correctly?

Problem confirmed on win7.
Using firefox 17, inkscape 0.48.2, i got a different rendering for the 2 software.

Tested also on r11943 with yet another rendering.

Current trunk renders it the same way as modern browsers (Firefox 26, Chromium34.0.1801.0).
