Based on the information displayed in the XML Editor and the Filter Editor:

* In Inkscape 0.48.x, the blur filter applied to the objects the style is pasted into is forked from the original, and the forked copy has its FER adjusted to the size of the pasted object.
* In Inkscape 0.91 and 0.91+devel, the same original filter definition (for an object with much different proportions (width/height)) is reused - thus the filter effects region defined in the filter definition (in % of the object's geometric bbox) is disproportionate.

The workaround mentioned earlier (move focus into and out of the blur slider in 'Fill and Stroke') causes the filter definition to be forked, and the new filter definition (applied when focus leaves the blur slider) does have a FER in % which matches the object the style was pasted on.
