I've checked out the FontForge source code and compiled it just to make sure 
that the current trunk has still not fixed the issue.

I know that the svg glyph parsing happens in
svg.c: line 1786: static SplineSet *SVGParseExtendedPath(xmlNodePtr svg, 
xmlNodePtr top) {

but I am not sure yet how to fix it.

I emailed the fontforge discussion list and figured out that one possible 
workaround would be to make Inkscape output <glyph><path 
d="something"/></glyph> so that current fontforge implementation can load it 
even before patching their <glyph d="something"/> bug.

That seems like a good temporary fix. Please do that but leave this bug open so 
FF can handle SVG Fonts in general better
