Works for me. Inkscape 0.46+devel (inkscape20080119rev17138AOCV.package) on fedora 8
Here was the sequence of events i tested:
1. Drew a rectangle
2. Opened Fill / Stroke Dialog box
3. Set the fill type to pattern
4. Changed the stock pattern from stripes 1:1 to checkerboard, and it worked as expected.
