bug#19373: 24.4; SVG images rendered via librsvg fail at displaying non-inline bitmap images

[Vasilij Schneidermann]

I've recently tested Emacs' support for displaying SVG images that
contain bitmap images.  The test files used were
<http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/struct-image-04-t.svg>
and
<http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/struct-image-02-b.svg>.
The imagemagick backend displays both pictures flawlessly, but renders
transparency as white background which makes it unsuitable for my
purposes.  The librsvg backend appears to render transparency correctly,
however in the first example with inline bitmaps the first image isn't
displayed at all (which can be easily fixed by replacing "jpg" with
"jpeg" in its sources); in the second example the non-inline bitmap
isn't displayed either.  I've tried tracking down the reason for this
behavior and the only pointer I could find was that librsvg is using
the cairo library to embed the bitmap image.  Is there any obvious fix I
can apply to remedy this issue?
