the key for SVG is INKSCAPE , there you can convert als sort of vector 
and very important also PDF to SVG , it make since to open a unknown SVG 
in InkScape an to resave, to have better, less Complex SVG. The insert  
the Graphic  in Writer 4.0 who handles this graphic as a full vector and 
export it to PDF also.
Before 4.0 (3.6) we needed to import SVG in Draw and the to copy the 
"shape" into Writer
I send you private a test SVG  with als sort of stuff to control .
