Hi,
Am I the only one to experience rendering regression when using screen blend mode in one object over gaussian blur in another?

That's no moon, it's a... oh sorry. ;-)
Okay... you ran into the same problem that I did. As Mental thankfully pointed out to me, the problem is when you have "nothing" or a transparent background behind the blend filtered objects.
If you place a fully opaque colored rectangle behind those objects, it should render correctly. This is unfortunately a shortcoming of the blend filters in SVG and it renders the same in Batik and other renderers as well. It was very unintuitive to me from an artistic standpoint as well, but knowing what the issue is, it can be worked around.
