I can confirm the bug is present in my Inkscape 0.48.4 x64 on Win7 x64 SP1 with dual monitor setup (attached control panel screenshot).

When Inkscape opens new windows they are open somewhere above the 1st screen and so they are invisible.
[Alt+Space, M, left arrow] OR [Win+left arrow] brings them to focus so the workaround works.

However, it really should be fixed as it lowers UI usability quite a bit and hence degrades the overall user experience.
It might not seem like much but it really discourages the user to use the software. It is like Joel says: "Fix bugs first, add new features later": http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html

I'm willing to help with testing.
