Bug Description
We have created a SVG on inkscape that looks good on inkscape, and also on firefox inspector. The purpose of this SVG is to transform it via Apache Batik SVG to PDF, feeding it with data through the process. We have made this previously with no problems at all.
The problem now is a misterious black rectangle that appears on certain area of the page when viewing the SVG on Nautilus Preview and also on the resulting PDF; On the other side, the black rectangle doesn't appear in Inkscape nor Firefox or Chrome. We have tried to isolate the element with no success: selecting layers at all levels, with inkscape xml editor, firefox inspector, removing all elements around... it looks like the black rectangle doesn't exist; it's driving us crazy.
The SVG was created with v0.48.3.1 r9886 on Windows 7. We are attaching the SVG to this bug report.
We have put online a couple os screen captures from ubuntu nautilus preview and the resulting pdf:

Reproduced with rsvg-view version 2.34.2 and 2.36.1 (nautilus uses librsvg to render SVG files).
> and also on the resulting PDF.
Not reproduced: a PDF file saved from within Inkscape (0.48.2, 0.48.3.1) does _not_ render the black square (truncated 'Flowed text' object).
> We have tried to isolate the element with no success: (…)
Please test the attached modified version of the file with the "offending" text object removed: the issue is a flowed text object which isn't visible in Inkscape (because the text completely overflows, and the content duplicates an existing text object beneath). [1]
