It was a very simple fix and immediately obvious (i.e. need to detect end svg elements). The developers either did not understand their own code or simply did not give a damn.

Your mileage may vary.

That's sad. Maybe the publishers that require epubcheck passage should fund some bug fixing and maintenance.
