Since there is absolutely no reason that merely linking to poppler should break the printf calls in the test in post 40 I wouldn't make any assumptions that minor code changes elsewhere in Inkscape will not dramatically alter the number of files it can open. Poppler in devlibs61 on Windows is clearly stepping on things it should not (the printf functions) and who knows why that is happening. The poppler in devlibs53 does not have this problem:

mingw32-g++ -o printf_bug printf_bug.o -Lc:\progs\devlibs53/lib -lpoppler
printf_bug
esc 0.000000 cos 1.000000 sin 0.000000 -sin 0.000000 -cos -1.000000
esc 0.000000 cos 1.000000 sin 0.000000 -sin 0.000000 -cos -1.000000

Let's get poppler to not break printf() and then worry about whatever other bugs there may be.
