This does not seem related to this bug (#597689) which is a specific issue with embedded bitmap images and toggling the visibility of the layer they are in.

I propose you file a separate report, adding version information about both OS and Inkscape versions used, as well as attaching the file and possibly providing more details about how it was created (explaining what 'using a save option on the mac' means - an option of osx-native applications to save as SVG or PDF? Or a 'Save' option of the home-grown java applet? If so, does the java applet use Batik to handle SVG?)
