According to RFC 2397 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2397.txt),
a 'data:' URL with no explicit MIME type should behave as
if "text/plain;charset=US-ASCII" were specified. That's what
you see. To fix, you should set the MIME type in the URL
to its real value, something like this:
xlink:href="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJR...
This is a seasoned bug in the Adobe SVG export, present since
Illustrator 9.0. Adobe admitted it in August 2000:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2000Aug/0016.html
but it looks like nothing changed since that.
