Well, we are not in the market for SVG compliance testing.  If there are
reasonably simple changes we can make to LilyPond in order to
avoid/sidestep triggering this librsvg bug, then we'll save ourselves a
lot of trouble by just doing some change on our side.  Blame-shifting
tends up to be a lot of work and hassle with _our_ users, never mind
that technically we are not at fault at all.
