On OS X 10.7.5, with default prefs, based on provided steps to reproduce and test file:
- not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.5
- not reproduced with 0.91pre2 r13527
Note: when opening the file, 'root' is already the current drawing level (see status bar layer indicator): a single click is sufficient to select the object.
The need to click a second time happens if the current layer is one of the regular layers (not 'root'): the first click changes the drawing level to 'root' (see layer indicator in the status bar), the second click selects the path in the current drawing level 'root'.
'click twice' needed if current layer ≠ 'root':
- reproduced with stable 0.48.2, 0.48.3, 0.48.4, 0.48.5
- reproduced with 0.91pre2 r13527.

AFAICT not a regression in trunk (0.91preX)
