I get the same results with Inkscape 0.47 (and with Inkscape built from
current bzr src) on OS X 10.5.8. Interestingly when using the default
dpi = 90, it exports both the blurs and all elements in the drawing, the
resulting PDF looks the same as the SVG rendered in Inkscape (at first
sight, I didn't delve into the details ;-)

Looks like a bug to me :(

Sometime in December, ~suv proposed the following:

Hey ~suv,

Now this is interesting. I set the dpi to 600 once because I was using the
output for a poster. It may not have mattered, but a poster isn't something
I wanted to have to redo. But you're right, it does look fine at 90 dpi.
I'll switch to that, and it'll fix my problems. 

Thanks
