Sounds like a Inkscape/Cairo issue to me, if the PDF it converts doesn't match the SVG. That said, SVG is tricky to get right, and we may be able to produce things in a different way that Inkscape will handle correctly. I'll look into this and file a bug with Inkscape and/or Cairo if it turns out to be a bug on their end.
Does directly outputting the PDF from matplotlib work as a workaround?
