Can you email me the file? I can't seem to find it in the inkscape-users list on SF.

Obviously a problem with Word.
The gradient fill shows up as a solid color in Photoshop CS. I assume Adobe include a first-rate PostScript handler in Photoshop.
And that is because I forgot to mention one more limitation:
Transparency is lost on PS or EPS export (e.g. you can't use a gradient from an opaque blue to transparent blue; as a workaround, replace it by a gradient from opaque blue to opaque background color).
So, if you replace the gradient's second color from transparent magenta to opaque white, it will work. This is a limitation of Postscript.
And finally there's one Inkscape bug that this file shows: the pad="reflect" on the gradient is ignored. I'm cc'ing Michael Forbes who wrote that code - Michael, is this fixable?
