Now tested with r12602 and cairo master as well - the problem as reported here is not "fixed" by latest upstream cairo.

AFAIU the proposal on the mailing list was that inkscape could support the attribute 'image-rendering' to control how scaling is
done (e.g. 'image-rendering="optimizeSpeed"' to prevent smoothing of a bitmap image when zooming in closer) [1]:
This property works ok with a test drawing/image in Squiggle (Batik 1.7), but not with current inkscape trunk which seems to ignore the property for rendering the embedded bitmap image.

Proposing to either reopen this report ("RFE: Support rendering hints for bitmap images"), or closing as 'Won't Fix' (?).
