Wikimedia purposefully doesn't render svgs which include another images (in this case it is including [[Image:Friesengebietblank.png]]).

Still, we could do with a less cryptic error message and not show a blank thumbnail in the wikitext (try previewing [[File:Fryskgebiet.svg|thumb]]).
The svg is rendered asynchronously to the page rendering, so I don't see a clean way to do it. Perhaps adding a broken flag to image table?

Yeah whatever code generates the thumbnail URL could notice the thumbnail is broken (somehow, maybe with that flag, maybe otherwise) and use client-side scaling instead.
We could change the g_error with a return NULL. Hopefully that would just render everything but the image. However, reusers would be vulnerable. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/debs/librsvg2/debian/patches/no-external-files.patch?view=markup
Renaming this bug to be specifically about the error feedback. The issue itself with external images is covered by bug 3537
