I can't find significant differences between the SVG displayed in Inkscape 0.47 on OS X 10.5.8 and your attached PDF file (viewed with 'Preview.app', Apple's PDF viewer) - can you describe in more details what is wrong in the PDF or maybe create a montage of partial screenshots showing the differences on your system?

I've made screenshots of the file viewed in Inkscape (SVG) and in Foxit
Reader (PDF). See attachment for more details. It sems to be something
with Inkscape PDF export routine (Cairo?) The same problem exists if the
PDF file is beeing viewed in GIMP.

confirmed: all SVG elements seem to be vertically displaced by one pixel when exported to PDF (compared the zoomed-in PDF with Inkscape on-canvas rendering of a line added in the original SVG with stroke-width = 1px).

possibly has the same root (pixel size is rounded up to an integer before it is converted to points, see comment #10 in bug #169048) as these reports:
Bug #168275 “wrong PDF export with rectangles”
Bug #168957 “export to PDF leaves white gaps between rects”
Bug #169048 “White gaps around rectangles in PS/PDF”
Bug #385267 “y-position of bitmaps (linked or used as patterns) is changed in PDF export ”

Changed in inkscape:
status: New → Confirmed
