Ok. But.. I think the nightly builds are from the trunk not the 0.46 branch. Maybe not all that important for this bug though. Trunk has the same issue.

Again, I think the snapshots are from the trunk. You might want to add a blob about TortoiseSVN and how to pull the latest source from the repository. The URL to use would be:
https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape/branches/RELEASE_0_46_BRANCH
Tortoise is also a nice tool to use when applying patches.

What a mess.. You can ignore my suggestion to compare with saving the file as pdf. The "Save as.. pdf" uses the printer interface and the "Print (with vectors)" uses the output interface and an "experimental" renderer. They both use cairo but don't share code. While the old postscript backend used the same code for both saving and printing
