Object to Path makes a bad conversion when offset is used on irregular shapes.
To reproduce:
1. Open Inkscape (current trunk)
2. Draw a rectangle
3. Draw a circle overlapping part of the rectangle
4. Combine the shapes (Path > Union)
5. Path > Dynamic Offset
6. Drag offset handle inwards or outwards a bit
7. Path > Object to Path
Result: Most of the nodes in the shape vanish, leaving only a small remnant of the original shape.
Note: This works fine on two rectangles, so i assume it's something to do with miscalculating offsets on curved shapes. Tried two circles, and they vanish entirely!
