I figured out the reason the svg images weren't working and fixed them.
Apparently XEP doesn't support opacity="0" in svgs.

Subject: [docbook-apps] svg, pdf, png, and jpg callouts 1-99
I found myself wanting more than 10 callouts and wanting them
too look crisp in pdf, so I made some svg callouts (and used Batik to
convert them to other formats for use in html). I'm actually using the
pdf version of the callouts in my output because XEP wasn't rendering
the svgs for me. It renders other svgs fine, but I don't have time right
now to mess with it. However, it occurs to me that a better solution
would be to have the DocBook xsls write the svg directly into the fo. In
fact, to make these, I just made one svg with a circle and a character
in the middle, then looped 99 times using sed to number the callouts. Be
aware tho that I manually tweaked #1 and #4 just slightly to make them
appear more centered and legible.
In any case, if someone wants to use them as is or work with
this some more, e.g. futz with the sizing to get it just right...mine
are a little bigger than the current callouts or incorporate them into
the DocBook xsls so they put the svg directly into the fo, feel free:

Btw., if you ever manage to use all 99 callouts in a
programlisting, I'd love to see it :-)
