The new select feature 'Edit > Select Same' selects based on the computed style, thus using this command on an object which has clones selects the original as well as the clone(s). The resulting selection however appears to behave inconsistently:
- the message in the status bar doesn't mention clones (unexpected)
- moving the selection with the select tool does not translate the clones
- grouping the selection unexpectedly creates new objects (unlinked clones ?)
- applying a path operation like 'Path > Union' to the selection triggers a crash

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1) launch trunk or 0.91pre3 with default (new) prefs
2) draw a rectangle
3) clone the rectangle, move it to the side, deselect it
4) select the original object
5a) apply 'Edit > Select Same > Fill and Stroke'
6) union the resulting selection (original + clone)
--> crash

5b) shift-select the clone
6) union the resulting selection (original + clone)
--> the operation fails expected, as explained in the message in the status bar.

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.91pre3 r13670 and 0.91+devel r13845 on OS X 10.7.5
