The concept of using a viewBox that makes user units equivalent to inches or other large units is severely broken, because currently we use only 6 digits of precision for all coordinates. That was sufficient for pixels, but is definitely not sufficient for a lossless conversion between pixels and inches.
Assuming 90dpi, you're saying that 4 digits of precision in terms of pixels is not enough in an inch-document-unit document? Can you provide an example of where it goes wrong?

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, but insufficient precision seems to be a likely cause.
