Bug Description
Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 on LinuxMint kernel 3.0.0-16-generic
This seems related to some other bugs but I'm not sure if it is identical so reporting it anyway.
Bug #169126 “Text boxes appear upside-down after PDF import”
Bug #259329 “Text in flowed text is upside down”
Bug #727876 “Text Flowing into Frame is upside down and mirrored”

This describes things very well :

Open a previously saved file.
Type some text (not in frame). Create a path - e.g. circle etc.
Put Text on Path
The text will be added but it is 'mirrored' or 'backwards'
It seems that this occurs (from the looks of other bugs) that it occurs when files have been saved/opened as PDF at some point.

Please attach a sample SVG file: this does not occur with most files created completely in Inkscape (i.e. without a layer transform attribute which flips the content of the layer, as happens with PDF/PS/EPS files opened in Inkscape).
