BTW, can Inkscape really handle text nodes larger than 10MB? I think we would run out of address space on a 32bit system before we could display such a long text.

The reported bug which PARSE_HUGE fixes was not about text node sizes, but about depth of recursion which was limited to 256. Some PDF files produce deeper grouping than that when imported into Inkscape. Which may be caused by a bug in Poppler, but in any case this sounds like an unreasonable limit to me.
