Attaching a screenshot displaying the SVG and PDF... looks ok to me. Export tested with
- Inkscape 0.48+devel r9890 on OS X 10.5.8, (cairo 1.10);
- default PDF export settings (rasterize filter effects with 90dpi);
- default PDF viewer on OS X: Preview.app.
Which PDF viewer did you use to compare the rendering of the SVG and PDF file? Can you attach a screenshot and the PDF file itself?
It seems your Mac OS X PDF viewer is handling Inkscape PDF output better than does evince-2.30.3 (poppler 0.14.5) on Gentoo Linux ~amd64, or Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.4 on Windows.
Attached (edit: URL, can't attach*) is a screenshot of the described problem on my Linux PC, with evince-2.30.2
Could be a poppler related issue (combined with a slightly broken (?) PDF exported by Inkscape): the preview, when opening the exported PDF in Inkscape, looks exactly the same as your screenshot from evince, but after import, the image on-canvas in Inskcape is almost identical in appearance as the original SVG (though I can see minor differences depending on the cairo version used when exporting from Inkscape; exported with Cairo 1.10 has better results when imported in Inkscape again). These tests using Inkscape as PDF viewer are to be taken with caution though (IMHO), as round-trip editing a PDF in Inkscape can produce unexpected results with minor errors. Unfortunately I do not have the skills to investigate or verify the PDF file itself (exported by Inkscape using cairo 1.8.10 or 1.10).

There seems to be a bug in cairo 1.10 with regard to gradients (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/672686), possibly related?
