Bug Description
Save an (empty) Illustrator CS3 document as SVG. In the SVG export options activate XMP export.
The resulting SVG will contain the following lines:
<metadata><?xpacket begin="*" id="W5M0MpCehiH
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x=
...
</x:xmpmeta>
<?xpacket end="w"?>
</metadata>
Notice that the character denoted with a * (after xpacket begin) is a non-ANSI character.
This SVG will open fine in Inkscape, though.
Saving that file with Inkscape again will CHANGE THAT CHARACTER.
Inkscape now cannot reopen its own saved file anymore and only displays a vague error message.

Thanks for the detailed analysis - could you attach such a sample (otherwise empty) SVG file? It would make a good test case for this issue.
