This is not the best way to use inkscape from the app bundle on the command line (it won't be able to find any of the bundled inkscape resources, which might matter depending on what operations are executed via command line).
Better to use the outer wrapper script, and always reference input and output files with absolute paths (not really an issue e.g. in scripts):
<off-topic> Inkscape. app/Contents/ Resources/ bin/inkscape faulty.svg --export- pdf=faulty. pdf
> /Applications/
