I have the same Problem right now, @have did you manage to change your command line so that MSVG is used? No. I have my server at a hosting company, and I asked them to recompile ImageMagick to use the MSVG renderer. They replied back that they deactivated RSVG and rebuilt IM. This worked, but I ...
