This a packaging issue with older Inkscape v0.46 binary releases:
The offending library
> libxml2.2.dylib provides version 9.0.0
is included in 'Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/lib'.

Up to version 0.47pre1 Inkscape relied on $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in its
launcher script to make Inkscape.app relocatable (see bug #392693 in
Inkscape: “Conflict between bundled and system libxml dylib”:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/392693>).

The packaging process for recent prerelease versions rewrites the
install-names of the included dylibs, executable and shared objects to
be relative to the executable to avoid library version conflicts as
shown by above quoted Dyld error message.
