Asked for peer confirmation on IRC as well. A person replied to me confirming the problem with version 1.3; but also told me that this problem does not happen in the upstream version (1.4-dev) of Inkscape.

That person recommended me to file a bug so that the "fix" is backported to the next release of Inkscape (1.3.1).

Thanks for the suggestion! I stopped using Inkscape because the packaged AppImage is quite slow compared to other options, such as cairosvg. Will give it a try.
