Confirmed with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22011 on OS X 10.5.8
I get the same result if I convert the file 'test.ai' to PDF (using OS X Preview.app) and open the resulting pdf file (attached) with Inkscape. Already the preview in the PDF import dialog shows the wrong rendering of the gradients.
Issue seems to be with the internal extension plugin for poppler in 'src/extension/internal/pdfinput', where I found the definitions for 'org.inkscape.input.ai' and 'org.inkscape.input.pdf' (pdf-input.cpp: Native PDF import using libpoppler).
