Are you exporting the logo on each separate machine? Have you tried
using the same exported SVG file (from any machine) in all?
The original .AI image was opened on only one (Win 10) machine and the
resulting .SVG image was copied to the remaining two machines (Win 10
and Linux). That .SVG file was opened in Inkscape on all three machines
and appeared identical in font and in type location relative to the logo
graphic, just as it was created on the first machine.
The script logo does not shift at
all; it's just the three lines below the logo that shift. Am I not
holding my mouth right? Did I forget to perform some weird
incantation
on the full moon?
First thing that crosses my mind is that the three machines are not
using the same version of the text font. Are you sure Inkscape and/or
darktable are not doing some font substitution?
The Win 10 machines appear to be using the same (sans serif) font. I'm
not sure which font that Linux machine is using. Today I'm going to
switch to a different font that I know is the same on all three machines
and try again. I know this font (Della Robbia BT) is the same because I
personally loaded it onto all three machines.
One thing to test: convert the text to curves on Inkscape before
exporting.
Thanks for this suggestion. I'll give it a try today and see what results.
Best regards,

Thanks for your insights, Guillermo.
