If I understand correctly then the most likely problem
is how the content of the clipart is mapped through the
'viewing' transform. The viewing transform is defined by
the combination of the width/height and viewBox attributes
on the outermost SVG element. IIRC someone was saying a
lot of the clipart lacked these attributes in which case
the values are defaulted, which might cause the problem for
the clipart that doesn't work properly with getGlobalTransform
(which is the correct version to use).

I think you need to figure out what is causing 'getGlobalTransform'
to fail and fix it, 'getTransform' can not work relably.
