I apologize, Tim, I was indeed wrong on that point.  I had long ago
installed an extension that adds context functionality (including zooming)
for rasters [1].  Having forgotten about it, I mistakenly assumed that this
was the default bahavior for rasters.

I do agree, then, that it is more consistent to users to have the same
behavior for all images right out of the box.  It shouldn't matter to them
what the image format is. 

That said, I guess I'll just make an extension to do the same for SVG.
Extensions rock!
