Hi,
Trunk/experimental has the ability to change the "Document Unit" in the Document Preferences dialog. Changing the unit changes 'lengths' throughout the document. This process has quite a few problems as demonstrated by the number of bugs reported. In order to get a handle on these problems, I've started a Wiki page to track the issues and to get an idea about possible solutions:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape:_Document_Unit_Cha...
The problems are quite complex. The simplest solution for the short-term (on the 0.91 release time scale) might be to just disable document unit changes.
Please look at the page and add your comments, bugs, etc.
Thanks,
Tav
Thank you for bringing this up and addressing it so thoroughly. For 0.91 I am leaning toward not having the ui muck things up. We're close to release and this is major blocker territory.
I'm not opposed to keeping the changes, but fixes need to start flying in for me to remain supportive.

The more I look into it, the more complicated it seems. I don't think it is doable for 0.91.
Cheers, Josh
