When built on Windows the preview for EMF files is apparently using the GDI libraries. GDI can handle all of the paint aspects of EMF files, Inkscape cannot. When Inkscape reads the EMF file it has to make objects out of the series of records, and when those records consist largely of raster mixing operations, the resulting import will not be very good. That is the case with this example.

On Linux and presumably OS X preview is "not available" and the discrepancy does not occur.
