With Inkscape 0.91 r13725 and 0.91+devel r14281 on OS X 10.7.5:
- not reproduced when opening the file directly:
  the gradients - applied via masks - render as expected
- reproduced when importing the file via 'File > Import':
  the mask and gradient definitions which are outside of any
  <defs> section directly in document root are not imported.

The file also has multiple <defs> sections, each with a single filter definition: in Inkscape 0.91, only the first one is imported. This is fixed in trunk, and tracked separately in bug #1460057.

Masks defined outside defs sections are also omitted via 'File > Import' if they don't use gradients (i.e. the underlying issue when importing SVG files is not specific to gradients, but AFAIU affects resource definitions in general which are not stored within a <defs> section).
