Using Kubuntu Lucid 10.04.
Rebuilding libgc1c2 with "-DLARGE_CONFIG" enabled DOES stop inkscape crashing with too many heap sections message (on my previously affected 43MB file). 
The file now works as normal in Inkscape GUI. 
However as Krzysztof Kosinski found in Windows, Inkscape still fails to export the file as bitmap from within the GUI. (A partial bitmap is created and then CPU load decreases as if the job was completed (and Inkscape export dialog closes the export in progress notification) but RAM use continued to steadily and slowly increase (3GB+) until I closed Inkscape.)
Export as bitmap from the command line DOES work as normal (although I have only tested this on the one file of mine mentioned).
For people wanting to try it:
Instructions for rebuilding libgc in Ubuntu, Debian and Gentoo are available at:

A more beginner-friendly version of the above (just for Lucid) is at:
