One issue described in #3 is due to the patch that added support for units on the text/tspan 'x' and 'y' attributes. SInce the patch, Inkscape has been writing out '0' for single 'x' and 'y' values. When Inkscape renders the text, it recalculates the line positions which masks the problem.

Note: the "text box" uses SVG 1.2 multiline text which is not implemented in any browser. SVG 2 replaces this with CSS based multiline text.
