1) Flowed text does not keep its position according to its shape when copied.
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 r22583 on OS X 10.5.8: in the pasted copy the frame of the text object is re-positioned to align with the linked shape, ignoring transforms of the original text object applied after using 'Text > Flow into Frame'.
2) un-grouping a translated (moved) group containing a text object (flowed into frame) and the shape used as frame
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 r22583, known issue, see earlier bug #345594 “Flowed text displaced following grouping” and possibly others.
