Thanks for the bug report!
Unfortunately the Debian bug tracker doesn't really know about
backports, but anyway, this is (should, haven't yet tried myself)
actually a bug reproducible in the unstable version of inkscape with
just a older version of python-scour.
Note that it can't be workarounded in the packaging side by backporting
the newer python-scour and forcing an higher version, as python-scour is
only "Recommend"ed, and versioned recomends are not really considered.

Thank you for the analysis!

If anything, this should catch inly ImportError over all of Exception
(besides, there is no need to keep the exception info in the 'e'
variable here).

I'll forward this upstream soon.
Thank you again for your bug!
