I've had this too, on Inkscape .42 on a WinXP machine. I've found the only way around it is to go into XML and edit the source.

I am working  in Inkscape 0.42 (autopackage and apt installed on 2
Ubuntu linux boxes (autopackage is hoary, apt is breezy)).

With a .svg file exported from paths in Gimp 2.2.8, on both
installations, the stroke width dialogue behaves strangely, incrementing
the stroke width only upwards by large amounts and then locking out at
1000.0 px. Width then is adjustable just by entering a number rather
than the using the scrolls and even then it goes to a different value
than the one entered.

This behaviour goes away if I import the file into Scribus and reset the
stroke width (Scribus behaves properly on this) and then export it and
then open in Inkscape. This does not happen if svg file is Inkscape
created.

I have looked at bugs but nothing seen. Before I submit, is this
behaviour known?

Thanks in advance for any insights,
