Using PDF 1.5 is unlikely to be causing issues with Adobe Acrobat. PDF
is designed to be forward compatible. ie if the PDF file contains
features that the reader does not know about, those features are ignored
while the rest of the file displays correctly. The PDF 1.5 features that
cairo supports are not used by Inkscape so even though the version in
the file is 1.5 it is only using 1.4 features.

Only very old versions of Adobe Acrobat don't support PDF 1.5.
  Acrobat 5 (2001)  -> PDF 1.4 
  Acrobat 6 (2003)  -> PDF 1.5
  Acrobat 7 (2005)  -> PDF 1.6
  Acrobat 8 (2006)  -> PDF 1.7
  Acrobat 9 (2008)  -> PDF 1.7 + extensions

There are many other differences between 0.47 and 0.48 that could be the
cause of your bug. Usually problems with opening PDF files are a cairo
bug since cairo should never generate an invalid PDF file (unless cairo
returns an error status).
