Here's a screenshot showing the difference between a drag 'n dropped WBMP and an imported one, both placed at 71% zoom. As a reference it also shows the same WBMP imported (or drag 'n dropped - result's the same) at 100%.
Looks like there is some kind of antialiasing being applied to the bitmap when it is imported or drag n' dropped at some zoom rates other than 100%. Also, this antialiasing is clearly visible only at zoom rates of 100% and 200%. Zooming to 400% and more shows no difference between the bitmaps.

I tried WBMP import in Inkscape 0.46 on windows and I found an interesting behaviour: When I drag and drop the bitmap at zoom 100%, it looks fine. But if I drag and drop the same bitmap at a lower zoom rate (in the example 71% wich is one scroll step from 100%) them zoom to 100%, the bitmap is rendered in a different way. The same happens at zoom 141% (one mouse scroll step from 100%). See attached screenshot. I attached the WBMP file in case someone wants to reproduce the behaviour.
Is is the same when you import the bitmap? Also, is the SVG file different for the three instances? I'm guessing this is the drag-and-drop code trying to be smart more than the import. But that may be because I didn't write drag-and-drop ;)
