Okay so in the case of the document I opened it was coincidence that the page edges coincided with Grid lines but you said "maybe an origin" so I am asking if there is any reason for the 'origin' not to be setup in such a way as to coincided with the top left corner of the page?
Damn. To answer my own question I see that Inkscape considers the bottom left corner to be the origin and the grid does align with that corner.
This is actually a long-standing bug in Inkscape that we inherited from Sodipodi -- SVG specifies that the origin is in the upper left-hand corner.
It was actually a deliberate decision on Lauris' part, but it has proven very hard to undo (I think we'll be looking at fixing it again in 0.41).
Looks like we'll have to figure out how to keep grids in existing documents from shifting as well when this is fixed, though...
