The long term, real solution is for lib2geom to support arcs properly.... I don't know if this will ever happen.

As for now, I don't have any bright ideas. I would be tempted to fix the conversion from arc to Bezier to be one arc to one Bezier for arcs less than or equal to 90 (180?) degrees. This would ensure that ellipses/circles behave as expected when converted to paths. A "pizza slice" greater than 90 degrees would still have an extra marker inserted. 0.48 actually places markers every 90 degrees on an arc. A "pizza slice" is an Inkscape thing so we can define how it behaves. For ellipses/circles we should follow SVG2.
