I'm not sure if this would help, but I've been able to use the trunk
and an external svg file like this:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-width='1.5in'
content-height='auto' text-align='center'>
<xi:include href="images/value-xhairs-only.svg"/><!--
relative svg file name -->
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
