Pattern fills with clipped groups of vector objects in the pattern definition seem to be rendered as bitmaps and do not scale when zooming in, even looking slightly blurry or pixellized at zoom level 1:1.
I noticed that as well, but I'm not sure why it happens yet. I doubt it's related to the revision you mentioned because later updates remove that in favor of a different (per drawing item) caching mechanism.
Related to these types of pattern fills (Alvin just recently filed a new report): Inkscape (or cairo 1.10) fails to handle those on export to PDF as well:
Bug #847168 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/847168 "crash when saving a clipped pattern to pdf
which is probably the same issue as
Bug #767010 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/767010 "Segfault after enormous memory consumption when exporting to pdf"
With regard to patterns, clipping and cairo, these reports have some recent comments by Adrian Johnson (cairo developer):

p.s. the links to specific comments are not permanent (Launchpad sometimes inserts comments from linked upstream bug trackers later on, as has happened in bug #168610, the original report about (cairo-)based exports of patterns (and gradients))
