should be.

Comment(by JD):

 Playing around with a quick Qt 4.6.0 test app, it seems that the scale
 issue can be fixed by either setting the source and target areas to be the
 same, or by setting the viewBox explicitly. The former seems to not scale
 text properly, and the latter can be achieved by adding:

 {{{
   generator.setSize( QSize( width, height ) );
   generator.setViewBox( QRect( 0, 0, width, height ) ); //<-- Add this
 line
   generator.setResolution( mComposition->printResolution() ); //because
 the rendering is done in mm, convert the dpi
 }}}

 to {{{QgsComposer::on_mActionExportAsSVG_triggered()}}} in qgscomposer.cpp
 Although I've not yet tried it in QGIS yet.
