Sorry, but I don't think you are right here. If you were right, I should have access(..) lines in my strace output indicating that inkscape has tried to open files in /lib/inkscape/extensions and /share/inkscape/modules which were non-existing. But it has not tried to open these files. And in share/extensions are the same files as in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/ after the installation. Since I can't see anything in inkscapa fails to open I don't know which helper it misses.
Duh, sorry, I didn't read the log you sent for stuff like that, I just saw the accesses and had a knee jerk response - sorry about that.
I would guess, that if an extension fails its check, it is probably because it couldn't find a file (this is really the only checking we're doing right now). But, also, if one fails, many others may fail because they are dependent on that one. So, if you don't have something like Sketch (Skencil now right?) installed opening of EPS, PS and SK files will be removed.
You might look to see if there is an access that failed in your strace log.
