Comment 18 for bug 499257

I've confirmed this bug on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with Inkscape versions 0.48.5_6 and 0.91.99.13797 via MacPorts as well as 0.48.5, 0.91 Pre3, and 0.91+devel-r13822 via the .dmg's distributed at inkscape.org.

I've reproduced the errors both when saving as an Inkscape .svg file and when saving as a plain .svg file. Also, originally the .svg file was created with Adobe Illustrator, but while Adobe's .svg file is readable from Mac OS X's Preview, none of the Inkscape .svg files are.
