OK, that's great to know... do you happen to know the bug ID? In the meantime, maybe its worth adding a note to the SF project page that the file repo there is superseded by our own download page.
Once the download URL is fixed, we can let downstream maintainers to update their links.
Yes, as of this release we are no longer using SourceForge for downloads. Our goal is to eventually migrate off SF completely.
Martin is correct that the primary location for the source tarballs and binary packages is now the website. We also maintain a secondary location, for the source tarballs only, at Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/inkscape/+download
https://launchpad.net/inkscape/0.91.x/0.91/+download/inkscape-0.91.tar.bz2
These URLs may be preferrable to distros than the website gallery URLs. Both are official, so your choice which you want to use.

Is there a plan to upload the 0.91 tarball on SourceForge, or is that file repository now considered to be obsolete? SF is advantageous for downstream, because the direct-download URL is predictable.
We put a lot of effort into moving away from Sourceforge because of their new owners and practices. Website and Fastly caching were all set up so we could host the files ourselves.
There is a bug report open for the regex-able download url. It shouldn't be hard and the work Jabier and Maren have put into the Releases objects will make it easier (if not down right trivial).
