you have found the developer of the SVG import, congrats ;-). Sure I am 
willing to help and always interested in bug reports for my importer; I 
have fixed some in the last days anyways.
To do so, I would need a bug report on the Apache AOO bugtracker, 
containing the needed description, evtl. test files and 
suggestions/patches. Please provide this here 
(http://issues.apache.org/ooo/).
I am developing for the public good at apache, so this will then be 
available for everyone, including LO (see my blog here: 
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/good_news_libreoffice_is_integrating). The 
other way round you will prevent 50mio others to profit from your work.

Sincerely,
     Armin
