I can confirm that the modified svg-file displays correctly, both, with
rsvg-view-3 as well as with Emacs (master): The embedded=inlined
jpg=jpeg and the png image are both shown.  So rsvg-view-3 and Emacs
show the same behaviour for original and modified file.

Here I see a difference between rsvg-view-3 and Emacs.  rsvg-view-3
displays the modified file correctly, i.e. it shows the referenced file,
while Emacs still does not show the referenced file.
