Librsvg, Wikimedia's SVG renderer should be upgraded to version 2.16.0 to fix rendering bugs that have been fixed in the most recent version. The following image does not render properly in the version that is currently installed (2.14.0, I believe): <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/8/8e//20070609175619%21Building_and_ship_comparison.svg>. It works fine in Firefox, Inkscape and librsvg 2.16.0. (To test librsvg, install the package that contains rsvg - librsvg2-bin in Ubuntu and presumably Debian - and run rsvg-view.)
Bumping version in response to bug 5235. Not sure if the bug tracker is best for requesting this sort of thing; one would assume such upgrades could be performed on a regular basis as part of normal operating procedures.
Fedora 9 now uses librsvg2-2.22.2-1.fc9.i386, which renders http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/6/6c/20080427112630%21Dielectric_responses.svg correctly. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SVG_Help#Image:Dielectric_responses.svg
Removing explicit version number in summary, which seems to get quickly outdated. The current version is apparently 2.22.

Done. Will continue to need periodic manual recompilation because we're using a custom package.
