Yes, this should fix it. The XLink namespace is always the same. Ivan's comment about the user of the filter changing the XLink namespace is a bit nonsensical to be honest. The namespace is just a formal requirement of the XML parser, not some user-definable value like the target of a link.
Seems related to Bug #586059 “Period not accepted in filter matrices UI (FR locale and maybe others)”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/586059
For shared filters.svg files it might be better to not use a localized Inkscape version (to be save) or verify that the decimal separators within the file are consistent.
This is a different bug. 586059 is about the period not being accepted in the UI, while here the bug is about localized values being written to the SVG - a much more severe thing, because it results in non-conformant documents. I have a fix, but it appears that the recent GSoC merge broke the open dialog, so I can't verify it.
