This was actually noticed and fixed last week (with a different usage
pattern).  The upcoming 0.41 Inkscape release has the fix.  I've marked
the bug a duplicate of bug #1113316.  It was actually only a display 
bug; Inkscape itself would load and save the keyword metadata, it just
wouldn't show the keyword field in the GUI unless you typed one in -- 
which would then vanish later on.  :)

As long as we're talking about OCAL and bugs, though, I should mention 
one I found with ... the upload tool, I guess?  I've noticed that many 
of the SVGs in the package have "Publisher" set to "HASH(0x....)", which 
must be the result of some Perl processing on the metadata.  For 
example:

$ curl -s http://openclipart.org/clipart//buildings/carnegie_library_building_01.svg | grep -2 HASH
        <dc:publisher>
           <Agent rdf:about="http://www.openclipart.org">
             <dc:title>HASH(0x872d240)</dc:title>
           </Agent>
         </dc:publisher>
