I've done some tests by converting epub with Kindlegen, then Kindleunpack to see what was done.
KF8 supports SVG graphics. These pass through conversion unaltered, as far as I can tell. KF7 files though I think SVG are just omitted.
Look at the code in some commercial books and they use media queries to provide alternates like "* * *" as an ornamental divider for KF7, and an SVG graphic for KF8.
SVG go through.
PNG are converted to sometimes GIF, sometimes JPEG. Usually larger and lower quality.
So I always convert PNG to those formats myself and optimise them, as GIF and JPEG are unchanged (except perhaps huge files might be downsampled). BW diagrams I reduce the colourspace to 4 colours, get a file much smaller than a similar looking JPEG.
