Did you actually zoom out, as recommended? (see attached screenshot in Inkscape 0.48.2).
Maybe I should also have mentioned that the pattern handles only appear after having switched tools at least once after creating it:

You should not have to "resort" to unstable development builds just to have the pattern handles appear - the feature works in the stable releases as described. If you keep a recent development version installed, please don't forget to mention which version you are using when describing a possible bug, a regression or lack of feature.

Needs further investigation… (possibly 'userSpaceOnUse' vs 'objectBoundingBox' - AFAIU Inkscape currently only supports 'patternUnits=

Known issue, same with the other 'Affects:' options, tracked in

Alternatively, you can always edit the geometry of the object (with the rectangle tool, or the node tool, or what shape tool applies), instead of transforming (scaling, stretching or squeezing) the current selection. Editing the geometry of the object will not affect the pattern scaling or position (unlike the transformations with the select tool).
