If you draw designs in Inkscape, you're going to run into issues pretty quickly that are relatively frustrating to work through. The strange part is that they do display properly in Edit view and in Process > Object view, but these details are completely absent from Process > Preview view. The two most common examples are svg:use (cloned objects) and svg:text, but others include thickness of strokes and embedded raster images.
The least I'd like is a warning that the input SVG contains objects it doesn't understand, a little reminder to go back and unlink clones and convert objects to paths.
But what would be best would, bare minimum, be implementing import of svg:use and svg:text.
Here's the test file I used, by the way.
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
