Bug Description
Try this to create the issue:
1. If you create a small circle using the circle tool.
2. Use the start/end nodes to create a very limited arc (very small span between start and end points like 0.5 start and 1.5 end).
3. Scale the arc uniformly by 200% using the ctrl key or the pad look on the transform bar.
4. Try making the circle full by dragging the start/end nodes.
5. Ooops! You will now have an ellips...
The bug is less obvious when you use larger portions of the circle visible. It seems that Inkscape looses track of the actual circle dimensions (diameter/radius) when you limit its visible parts.
Very problematic when trying to use Inkscape for tech stuff.
Thanks,
Lars

Which version of Inkscape did you use for your example? Can you attach a sample drawing?
Can't reproduce this with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22148 on OS X 10.5.8
(settings: geometric bbox, stroke width scaling off, rounded corner radii scaling off, no visible grid, default snapping)
