With the not-scaling stroke width, this is not merely a case
of the display being wrong & the end result being fine. For
example:

- Create a small box (with some kind of stroke value).
- Add a guide & set snap to bounding box
- Scale the box, snapping it to the guide

Depending on your zoom level it may or may not be obvious,
but the end result it _not_ snapped to the guide (as would
be expected). Getting a stroked object to truly snap to a
grid or guide when scaling takes 2 or 3 transformations.

Setting the selector to show box outline does not solve this
problem.

It looks like you have an idea of what is causing this
problem - is the solution dependant on a future change (eg
Cairoification) or can a fix be found sooner?
