Known issue, a complete reorg of the save and export functions is on the roadmap (no ETA). See also the blueprint
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/save-as-vs-export>
and the linked page for details about the proposal in the Inkscape wiki.

Export in Inkscape to other vector formats corresponds to 'Save a copy as…' (the saved file is not loaded in the current document window), whereas 'Save as…' replaces the current document with the saved version.
