(Get the code!)
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 and 0.47+devel r9433 on OS X 10.5.8
The main problem IMHO is that it is not transparent for the user if an object has an explicit transformation attribute (like any transformed ellipse, star/polygon or spiral) or optimized transforms, and it's even harder to anticipated if the shape has been converted to path but not transformed after that (because the path still has the preserved transform attribute after the conversion).
Resorting to the XML Editor to check the attributes of an object to be clipped is just a workaround and not user-friendly. A "Filter properties" dialog as proposed in bug #168157 allowing transformations to be inspected and maybe modified at every level of the stack could provide a better solution.
