good question, I think the answer is yes, it would be a good idea to backport the new fix. I ran into this by accident. I was using the file default.svg from trunk, which is different than the previous default.svg file, because everything is now in mm. This file has a minor inconsistency in that the variable 'units' in the namedview section is missing. That fact that it is missing is not important because it is redundant and should be removed anyways. But I was using this variable and was mis-identifying the units because of it. So I switched to using the units obtained from the height specification in root. This is foolproof as far as I can tell. Anyways the same comment applies to 91.x as well. I downloaded default_mm.svg from .91x and encountered the same issue, so it would be worthwhile to backport it there as well.
