I downloaded the problem svg and the jpg. The SVG does indeed hang Inkscape, making it unresponsive.
The mystery I find, is that the jpg pattern seems to work ok in a new document.
I import the jpg into a new document and clip it with a rectangle, then convert that object into a pattern... No problemo.
Attached is the new document test, with imported jpeg.
