In Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9862 on OS X 10.5.8 I do see both file types listed in the 'File open' dialog _without_ changing any line of the extension definition files (outline2svg.inx, txt2svg.inx). (Yes, I removed the user extensions directory before testing, and checked the shared extensions directory for duplicate file types).

Possibly the <check reldir="…></check> fails on Windows?

The extensions fail with the same error message as initially reported because SVG.pm is not installed on the system.
