Well, I'm guessing what happens is that the checks for files for those extensions fail. Stuff like perl in the path probably doesn't work out in windows for many systems. What happens then is that the extensions go into a 'dead' mode where they still exist, but the implementation has been removed and set to the default implementation. That is probably what is being used at the point where you save with those - but it shouldn't cause Inkscape to crash. I'm concerned about that.
It didnt crash at the save, it didnt do anything, just acted like it had worked and carried on. The crash happened later, when you went to close the document, I'm guessing something to do with the "you've saved in a lossy format" check?
Also, what really needs to happen is that the win32 file dialogs need to be improved to handle the 'dead' mode of extensions. This is done currently in the Unix fileselector, so it should just be a matter of using very similar code. If someone is using windows, making the filedialog files look as similar as possible would be cool.
The win filedialog is seriously unfriendly to work with, and this should be a non-issue when we go to the new gtk anyway right?
