As an aside, I would recommend to post samples to a separate site, such
as one of the many pastebin services or the www-archive mailing list, to
avoid issues like we have here, you wrapped the path data in the middle
of numbers, making the whole d attribute malformed.

The transformation does not scale the item e.g. using the middle of the
bounding box as center, so unless you position it around 0,0, scaling
will also shift it, and in your case probably shift it out of view. You
have to move it back into view. You could use e.g. scripting to find out
where it ends up, or use <animateTransform> to see how it's shifting.
