Thanks for the screenshot.  It looks like the problematic HTML is this
(the source code for the TeX formula):

I doubt we support the code between the <math> tags, so I think what
/should/ show up is the "fallback" SVG image that Wikipedia provides:

<img 
src="https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/8411fe69f79f2971b7c7a453b0b547bb37e9f6df";
 .../>

Please experiment with SVG files (such as the one above) to check if
they all have this rendering issue in Emacs.

Thanks in advance.
