Comment 7 for bug 1658332

I tried this on a separate machine with the same OS, and could not reproduce the bug. In other words, inkscape read from the local config directory correctly.

I tried again on the machine that I originally reported the issue, which has since been rebooted, and it worked fine. There are two explanations:

1) Inkscape places local swatches at the top of the swatch list (not in a universal alphabetical order). Maybe I am an idiot and did not notice it sitting at the top of the list initially.
2) Reboot magic?

Since 1) seems more likely, I think this should be closed as not a bug.
