librsvg not rendering xlink (external) images from svg

[joekarl]

Using imagemagick 6.8.7-0, librsvg 2.36.3 on OSX 10.9.

Basic svg with an xlink:href image. Using the RSVG renderer, the image is not displayed. Using the MSVG renderer, the image is displayed.
Unfortunately can't use MSVG due to some outstanding bugs.

Anyways, here's a sample SVG that is exhibits the problem.

Code: Select all

<svg width="800" height="600"
    xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.2"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <image width="800" height="600" xlink:href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Triple-Spiral-4turns_green_transparent.png"></image>
</svg>

I'm also seeing this running on Red Hat 6.3 with RSVG 2.26.0 and IM 6.8.4-6
