It does not matter where in the tree the corresponding element for any
element instance is.

I would say processing of specified styles is equivalent to processing
of event listeners, and it's also defined in SVG 1.1. I would say this
makes processing of :hover when hovering real elements well-defined;
processing of :hover when hovering instances is probably not well-
defined; I would suggest to file an issue with the SVG Working Group.
