I think the best way to test is to include import an image, save, edit the svg in a text editor and change the png or jpeg to a local svg file.
* packaging for Windows There is the long-standing bug report about packaging librsvg (SVG images linked via <image> tag fail to render on Windows) which was turned down twice as packaging issue by linux devs. The report in its current state now basically duplicates a separate report tracking the underlying issue (use inkscape's own renderer for <image> tags referencing SVG images).
* packaging for OS X The packaging regression with librsvg in 0.48.2 for OS X (missing entry for svg loader in gdk-pixbuf.loaders) is solved in current OS X packages (0.48.5, 0.91), and librsvg via gdk-pixbuf loader works where used in Inkscape the same way as on Linux.
* other test cases: librsvg via gdk-pixbuf loader is used elsewhere too, so other test cases would be filter effects with feImage which reference other SVG objects on-canvas, or the templates preview image (which AFAIK is also broken on Windows).
* old devlibs (32bit): AFAICT the 32bit devlibs do not include an SVG loader for gdk-pixbuf, though they include the librsvg DLL. Apparently librsvg DLL is not included in the final package - likely because there's no need for it since there is no gdk-pixbuf loader for SVG either: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs/trunk/view/head:/... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs/trunk/files/head:...
* new devlibs (64bit): The 64bit devlibs include the gdk-pixbuf loader for SVG, as well as the librsvg DLL. The installer packages have all gdk-pixbuf loaders included, however miss the librsvg DLL (and libcroco, a dependendency of librsvg): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs64/trunk/view/head... http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-devlibs64/trunk/files/hea...
* runtime test with 64bit MSI installer: Quick tests with 64bit Inkscape on Windows 7 don't produce error messages or crashes when gdk-pixbuf loader fails as expected for <image> tag referencing an SVG image, and e.g. for template preview images.

I think someone undid my removal of the librsvg rendering (which only works on linux), so some svgs might cause an error on windows.

I've now installed the file Inkscape-0.91-1-win32.7z on Windows 7. It does not contain the files librsvg-2-2.dll or libcroco-0.6-3.dll, and it appears to be working normally.
I guess my question would be, what are these files used for, and how would one test to see if they are actually needed or not?
