Could this be related with recent improvements? WebKit did nicely fix
the annoying SVG bug 48462 [1] through it's underlying bug 10687 [2]
in the latest few months. Anyway, I couldn't "force" it to work by no
combination of "object, svg { overflow:hidden }".

I get a consistent result (in the remaining "SVG without viewBox in
object" case, that is) between Firefox 4 nightly and Opera by adding
"overflow:hidden;" to the img/object stylesheet in Firefox...
In sum: could the overflow behavior be underspecified for these
embedding cases? (SVG in image, SVG in object, inline SVG in HTML,
etc.) I recall recent discussion on www-svg regarding at least the
inline use-case.
Cheers,
Helder
