I remember having trouble with very complex tiles a while ago. After 
searching around I found out that libgc (garbage collector) must be 
configured with parameter "--enable-large-config" so that inkscape can 
handle complex tiles properly.
Download the source at

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/gc_source/gc-7.1.tar.gz

and do the following

tar xvzf gc-7.1.tar.gz
cd gc-7.1
./configure --enable-large-config  (_important_!)
make
make install   (as root)

Please let me (and the other readers) know if this solved your problem...
