The attached AI file is PostScript-based: Inkscape may open such files with the help of UniConvertor [1], but for various reasons, UniConvertor 1.1.x had not be included in the OS X application bundle at the time the package for Inkscape 0.48.2 was created [2].
Summary: The official MacOS X package of Inkscape 0.48.2 does not support to import PostScript-based AI files.
[1] «.ai (Adobe Illustrator) Opens version 9.0 and later files (based on PDF). See PDF entry below. In v0.47, older versions (based on PostScript) can be opened by selecting the PostScript or EPS file type from the drop-down menu. On Linux, you can use the file command to check the version. In v0.48, older versions can be opened via UniConverter if you explicitly select Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below (*.ai) in the file-type menu. »

. UniConvertor 1.1.x was never officially ported to OS X (installation is partially broken at runtime without patches)
- UniConvertor 1.1.x is no longer actively maintained by the sK1 team (they moved on to rewrite UniConvertor 2)
- Including additional python packages with binary modules which depend on linked shared libraries inside the application bundle does not work with the available packaging scripts (they are broken on SL and later versions of OS X anyway, which is among the main reasons why there are no newer packages for OS X available based on later stable bug-fix releases).
