But the problem is neither with the shape nor with the svg. It is some 
mismatch between the gtk+-2.24 build used and the placement of files by the 
installer.

The setup created <dia>/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders file contains no 
loaders at all, but the path where they are expected:
        <dia>/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders
The setup installs them in
        <dia>/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders

After copying the files to the expected place gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe 
can create the correct file. But this is still not enough. The only working 
way I've found is
        set GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=<dia>\etc\gtk-2.0\gdk-pixbuf.loaders
before calling dia.exe on the command line.

Of course you would have to replace <dia> above with the correct 
installation path. Or wait for Steffen to create an installer with a fully 
working gtk+ build. Or switch back to dia-0.97.1-1 installer, which had 
this working using an older gtk+ build.
