Corel Draw has a bug in its SVG parsing: it treats all movement commands as absolute. By default, inkscape will use both absolute and relative movement commands.
There are two ways to deal with this:
1. Convert the SVG to PDF in inkscape. Corel's PDF import is less buggy.
2. Tell inkscape to output SVGs with only absolute movement commands:
2a. Open the Inkscape Preferences window (via Shift+Ctrl+P or File | Inkscape Preferences).
2b. Go to "SVG Output".
2c. Uncheck "Allow relative coordinates".
