this is the Inkscape bug reported by Jon:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1153207&group_id=93438&atid=604306

I don't know what happened with the files (they were touched manually or 
only by the release scripts) but, indeed, the files can be opened now in 
Inkscape.

however, the file size is still a problem, i think 0.5MB is huge for an 
image like

(i would expect something 10-20 times smaller)

we discussed about greeting cards on this list around Cristmas and have 
a wiki page intended to hold ideas:
