Having "Save as" do something different with current document depending on which format is chosen looks like potentially confusing UI to me. You could probably disable PDF/PS/... altogether in "Save" and "Save as" and only leave them in "Save as copy". But don't you think people will naturally look in "export" if they don't find a specific format in "Save as"? Speaking of what I know, this is the paradigm on OS X: save and save as often do not even provide a format chooser (they save in the native format of the application) and all the rest is under export.
I agree completely with this. It makes sense to "save"/"save as" in svg format, and export anything else, since that's the only format Inkscape actually edits.
BTW, is there a difference between "export" and "save a copy"?
