As I expected, there's nothing unusual about the SVG, and on my system it is shown with correct kerning both in 0.43 and current svn. I can only speculate that something is wrong on your system with either the font, or the freetype/pango installation. Inkscape takes the kerning information from Pango, and there's currently no switch to turn kerning off. So if there's no kerning, most likely Pango provides none. Try upgrading Pango, running in a different locale, or using other fonts. If nothing helps, file a bug with screenshots, SVG, and very detailed info on your platform and all used libs.
Richard, do you have any insights on why this might happen?
