Inkscape conversion from SVG to PDF is using PS. PS as I know it doesn't support transparency, and thats the main problem.
When I need to export an SVG to PDF with transparencies I need to flatten the colors. I can't remember well how I do that, but basically use the pick color tool to check the real visible color, and change the object color/transparency accordingly.
I hope this helps. Hugs Alberto

flowRoot (i.e. Flowed Text) is an SVG 1.2 proposed object type. Batik is an SVG 1.1 renderer.
Change the flowRoot objects to regular text (Text->Convert to Text) and try Batik again.
Doing so let Batik run without producing any errors, but the PDF it produced isn't quite right. Adobe Reader refuses to open it, saying "An unrecognized token '-3.662109375E-4' was found.". Kpdf opens it, and while there is indeed transparency in the right parts of the image, in other parts there is transparency where there shouldn't be any!
