I can also confirm that replacing the funky y aka ? in begin="?" with a
y fixes the issue.  In fact, Mac OS X still doesn't display one element
from that .svg file, but that's probably due to gradients or fuzziness.
At least now Chrome and FireFox display it properly, which they did not
before.

I've now committed the fix to that pull request but the original bad .svg created by Inkscape is here :

Title:
  saves svg file, that it can't read afterwards

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
  Release:        9.10

  $ dpkg -s inkscape | grep Version
  Version: 0.47~pre4-0ubuntu1

  Loading attached file in inkscape results in:

  $ inkscape Rubin-mit-Schnee.svg 
  Rubin-mit-Schnee.svg:2588: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
  Bytes: 0xFF 0x22 0x20 0x69                                                              
     id="metadata3"><?xpacket begin="�" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> 

  However, that file was written by inkscape itself and not modified
  manually by myself after.

  I think the problem was caused by myself adding metadata to the file (from within inkscape)
  that contain non-ascii characters, since that was more or less the only thing I remember I
  did after loading the file in inkscape (when it still worked) and before saving it. After saving
  it inkscape was not able to read it any more.

  *t

  PS: after replacing the character displayed above in the error message with a random ascii
        character, inkscape was able to load the image with no problem.
