It seems that Inkscape does not export the blur to cairo pdf nor cairo-experimental pdf.
Cairo doesn't directly support blur, and as far as I know won't ever.
That doesn't mean we can't do blur with a Cairo-based renderer, of course, but it does mean we'd need to implement it ourselves using an intermediate image surface.
The bigger problem is that there's no way to represent blur in PDF. If you want blur in exported PDFs, you'll have to resort to rasterizing blurred objects at some fixed resolution.
