Very weird import problems.

Hello, this is my first post here, I'm trying to figure out why exactly is Sheetcam adding nodes to my SVG import.
I'm attaching the SVG file I'm using, it's a simple "test" text, already in curves, and as we can all see it looks like it should look.

This is how it looks opened in Illustrator.

This is how it looks in Inkscape.

And this is how it looks in Sheetcam. I have no idea why, I have tried saving in different SVG versions, everything produces the same result - it looks fine everywhere else but in Sheet cam. I am slowly running out of things and ideas to check, so I ask for your help here, maybe someone has seen this before? The file is attached for everyone to see/test.
I originally saw that issue with DXF import (which ironically looked much better than SVG import in terms of how S curves were produced) but I still don't know why Sheetcam actually adds nodes. Because the same SVG opened in both Illustrator and Inkscape has literally the same nodes in the same position, and opened in Sheetcam has more nodes in different positions. I have searched the internet and the only reference to this is with people importing DXF's from Corel and Corel doing some wonky stuff with the saving.
Thank you for all input and suggestions.
