Usual response would be: please include your problematic shape file for analysis,
but I've got it off-list. It appears handwritten instead of being based on an original 
shape export. I've spotted three issues which stress the respective XML parser
and might lead to incompatibilities between different library versions:
 1) the namespace declaration for xlink is missing [1]
 2) 'href' in the svg:image tag is missing the xlink namespace
 3) there is a superfluous closing svg:image tag

Please compare your problematic shape with the one generated by Dia's shape export:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns="http://www.daa.com.au/~james/dia-shape-ns"; xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
  <name>test - testsvg</name>
  <icon>testsvg.png</icon>
  <connections/>
  <aspectratio type="fixed"/>
  <svg:svg>
    <svg:image x="2.05" y="1.9" width="8.50044" height="7.45" xlink:href="testshape.svg"/>
  </svg:svg>
</shape>
 
Also it is always a good idea to look at the console output for additional information.
