Works well indeed -- all notes, lines, fonts etc. just as they were in 
the pdf, in my quick test anyway (Inkscape 0.46 on Fedora 10).

Trying to load Lilypond pdfs into 0.46 produces the helpful message: 
Inkscape has encountered an internal error and will now close.

There's an active thread on svg output direct from 2.12, so keep an eye 
on that.

Meantime, if you desperately need drop shadows under chord symbols, or a 
star-spangled banner issuing from a half-note, pdf2svg will do the job fine.
