Marcin, I think you have found the problem: I can duplicate this on Fedora in most recent SVN by editing my preferences.xml file. I replaced 'Bitstream Vera Sans' with 'NotARealFontName'...
I can also trigger it by opening any file containing a font that is not installed (see attachment, which contains text in the font named 'NotARealFontName')
I also get many errors to the console that look like this:
** (inkscape:11288): WARNING **: Family name NotARealFontName does not have an entry in the font lister.
