Oh blast, thanks Sean/Walter, I'd tested in Safari and Chrome with no problems. Firefox was also working fine  but recently I reworked the svg to define all the images in the <defs> section and then using <use> to actually place them (this makes inserting removing new icons in the correct grid position much easier). I'll revert to the old technique and re-test in Firefox.

Probably time to make a quick python script to generate the xml...

O.T. I have a pretty much working process for generating the weekly mail list SOM as SVGs, with working built in pan and zoom, resolution independent and searchable text, and a smaller file size (the jpg's I upload are about 300Kb, the svgz of the same map was about 200Kb). Unfortunately it looks like browser support of svg varies enough to derail the practicality of this.

Note that the wiki shows the image preview thumbnail as all black, just click through to the full svg and you'll see all the remotely referenced images as in git mainline, hover over an icon for its name:
