Bug Description
I think Export (SVG and others) should (now they don't - I've checked for SVG with 2 days old version) use Values & References visibility flags as there are no such flags in Export dialog box.
I know that "no new functions added now" but as Export uses right panel colors using these flags (for things which can't be decided in Export dialog box) seems for me being just the same function and I suppose it needs hopefully adding only two if() for each of export formats and in places where probability of makeing this way new bugs is very low.
Why I think it is usefull. I found the only way to get directly form KiCad 2 pictures with black elements on gray copper - one with references and one with values by designing my footprints with the same picture at F.Silks and F.CrtYd and Reference at one of them and Value at second. If for Export (SVG) I could switch on/off Reference/Value I'd need to use only one layer for it.

You can Plot to SVG and switch Reference/Value on and off. Does that not work for your use-case?
(In general Export should export everything that can be expressed in the export format. It's more of a Save As... than a Render To...)
