This might very well be a different bug, since I don't see the location
marker being displayed on top, but instead I see "garbled" display.

What happens if you set a breakpoint in GDB on this piece of code in
image.c?

  /* Set base_uri for properly handling referenced images (via 'href').
     Can be explicitly specified using `:base_uri' image property.
     See rsvg bug 596114 - "image refs are relative to curdir, not .svg file"
     <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/librsvg/issues/33>. */
  if (filename)
    rsvg_handle_set_base_uri (rsvg_handle, filename);

Is it triggered?  And if so, what is the value of `filename'?

It's not useful to compare the code in Carbon Emacs with the code in
Emacs.app.  They use completely different code paths to handle the
`base-uri' attribute.
