Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel r9834 and GIMP 2.6.10 on OS X 10.5.8

1) Also or even happens when creating a bitmap copy first in Inkscape (which keeps the transparent background and any transparency/reduced opacity used for the fill/stroke of the vector objects), then copying the bitmap in Inkscape to the clipboard and pasting it into GIMP (as new layer): the pasted image has an added white background with all object transparencies flattened.

2) Extracting the bitmap copy in Inkscape to disk and opening the extracted PNG in GIMP preserves the transparency correctly.

3) Copying said PNG in GIMP and pasting it back into Inkscape also preserves the transparencies correctly.
