I copied the existing emblem-locked.svg positioning without falter, so  
assume this is the emblem placing code that's a little off (unless  
emblem-locked is wrong).

Oh, OK. So black box (white stroke?) with white buddy icon (in this  
example) is the intention?

Well the one's I've looked at have &stroke_color and &fill_color so it  
could just be a simple code change I guess (above screen shot was  
taken just by changing stroke to white, and fill to black). But I can  
do that in each of the emblem-*.svg if that's all that is needed, and  
is easier for core devs?

Hey, no problem, I've been volunteered for far worse things ;-)
