Topic was raised earlier this week on irc by Mc (see attached irc log excerpts).

Note that the issue is exposed in documents which at the time when the first instance of a symbol is inserted into the drawing does use display units other than 'px' (see Document Properties > Page > General > Display units). IIRC symbol scaling on insertion is still based on the display units instead of the document scale.

Based on tests with archived builds (on OS X 10.7.5):
- not reproduced with lp:inkscape rev <= 13852,
- reproduced with lp:inkscape rev >= 13858,
the reported issue seems to have been exposed in commits related to bug #1365451 (comments 17-18).
