Related issue:
The internal output extension 'org.inkscape.output.png.cairo' seems to get used (instead of 'sp_export_png_file()'?) when pasting the clipboard contents from Inkscape into e.g. a raster image editor like GIMP: the pasted images always have a white solid background and show the same rendering errors (e.g. with patterns) or missing filter effects as when saving an SVG drawing as "Cairo PNG".
