We don't use svg:switch in Inkscape-generated SVG at the moment, so this is relevant only to externally authored content.
The changed behavior seems to confuse users - maybe there could be more information in the status line if ungrouping a 'conditional group' fails (in trunk)?
See this recent thread on inkscape-user: http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Can-t-ungroup-Conditional-Group-tt4969707.html#none
The bug linking doesn't really have to do with the scope of the ungroup functionality. The ability to ungroup switches and svg elements was removed and thus we have dangling inconsistent behavior between these elements.
src/selection-chemistry.cpp:797
I can press Ctrl+Click to select sub objects within a switch, I can enter the 'conditional group' using the right click menu and that all works great. We should be able to ungroup them too.
The ungrouping functionality for switch and maybe even svg elements should be put back before release.
