Some problems:
- It indeed crashes when you try to open a *,pdf file from command
line. From Open or Import dialogs, however, it works.
- It only imports the first page of PDF files. That's reasonable, but
ideally I would like to see an "import options" dialog where I could select the page
PDF files are not listed in the open dialog when you select "All images"
It imports gradients as a stack of many overlapping shapes. Again,
this _looks_ correct, but I would much prefer to see that converted to regular SVG gradients. Unlike fonts, Inkscape's gradient support is quite good. (Although, of course, this only applies to regular gradients; gradient meshes will still need to be represented by small tiles).
And here is an issue I've encountered with an AI file from AI10.
This is how a page looks by default when opened in Inkscape:

This is how it looks when I ungoup twice:

I can provide the file privately (it contains outlines of a font that is not meant to be distributed in any form).
