Sorry for that :) mental said that I should enable by default the native PDF import. The one which worked for you and which reproduced text by glyphs is the cairo-svg-surface based one (actually it was a quick hack to get it working in Inkscape). Now the other one which now spews out the debug info is the not-yet-finished native one which will import text and gradients properly (soon...now it's only good for importing shapes).
Well, then, unless someone complaints, I think I'll make the cairo-based one the default _for now_. When your native one with gradient support matures, we'll switch it back.
For text however, as I said before, it would be nice to have both options and to be able to choose when importing. Sometimes it is more important to have text as text; sometimes it is more important to have it look right. Realistically, Inkscape won't have support for embedded SVG fonts any time soon, and this means these two goals will remain mutually exclusive until then. So, can you implement such an option?
