AFAICT this is similar to
- Bug #1245240 “Saving outlined text as PDF: progressive shift of the outline relatively to the character”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1245240>

The affected text object in the SVG file has a thin black stroke applied in addition to the black fill. On PDF export, there are two objects generated, a path (the outline) for the stroke, text for the fill. These two objects don't match exactly, though details seem to vary.

Workaround: remove the black stroke from the text (the difference is barely noticeable at 100% zoom level).

Reproduced on OS X 10.7.5 with
- Inkscape 0.48.3.1, cairo 1.12.2
- Inkscape 0.48+devel r13508, cairo 1.12.16
- Inkscape 0.48.5, cairo 1.12.16
- Inkscape 0.48+devel r13508, cairo git master
