it is possible that the issue I was referring to in the two files rect_trunk13954.svg and rect_0.91_stable.svg may not be the same issue as the isuue raised by ivan, so I better clarify why I objected to this behaviour. I don't object to the fact that 0.91 interprets the blur width as px while the trunk interprets the blur width as mm. That behaviour is perfectly consistent with the document-units that are used in the two cases. What I object to is the fact that the Filter Editor does not explicitly state what the units are. It presents the Standard Deviation as a variable with no units, which of course is not true, it has units which may be either px or mm depending on what the document-units are. This should be stated explicitly in the Filter Dialog, possibly with the option of changing the units if desired.
