I tracked down the problem where I was having problems loading in files that I had made.
It turns out that my config setup Makefiles with a VERSION of 0.0. This of course ends up being written in any files I save, and thus they are misinterpreted on reading.
Since it's an autoconf issue, not code, I'm not up to speed enough to come up with a patch. :-(
So I figure someone on the list can take care of it. Let me know if you need any follow-up info.
Oh, and for detecting this in the future, I was wondering if checks for 0.0 and warning dialogs at startup and/or file loading might be handy. It would end up preventing lost time on strange behavior.
Did you try setting the version name via the 'configure.in' file in AC_INIT() ?
We had originally set this to 0.0 when we initially started. It is currently set to 0.35, IIRC.

This raises an interesting issue, actually ... we should probably freeze the sodipodi:version attribute at something like 0.35, and introduce an inkscape:version attribute that reflects the current Inkscape version.
Otherwise Sodipodi compatability could likely get weirder as time goes by...
As we'll have to introduce an inkscape XML namespace eventually, what do you think we should use for the namespace URI?
