I would suggest "flattening" a copy of the svg document by converting the difficult parts such as text, to Paths, then saving as "plain svg". See if that works. Isn't <flowRoot> new to SVG 1.2? (still a draft, not a spec yet). If so, there are likely few renderers that support it.
I pretty new to Inkscape and SVG, so I can't say what's new and what's not. I did save my .svg as "Plain SVG".
I don't have a pressing need for FOP, so I think I'll wait and see.
