Another observation with regard to node count displayed in the status bar by the select tool, before and after moving the path (r14302 on OS X 10.7.5):
If I lower the numeric precision to 7 and relaunch inkscape with the test case:
- initial node count: 37 nodes
- node count after first move: 38 nodes
- node count after third and later moves: 39
Reverting numeric precision again to default '8', relaunching inkscape: node count (38) again stays unchanged on move, and only changes on rotation (from 38 to 39).
