As I suspected. The SVG contains tspan elements which are rendered as shapes by 0.92beta to be on the safe side. What you're seeing is only the effect of painting vector graphics (as opposed to painting text). If you zoom in on the text the quality will get better. It doesn't look bad if you print it, does it?
Some SVG text elements are difficult to be painted using text operators in PDF so that's when we fall back to painting as shapes (prime example: text on a path). The tspan element in your case are pretty simple which could actually allow painting as text but the code is not that refined, yet. The regression from 0.20.5 can be explained that 0.20.5 didn't care much about tspan elements which could lead to poor output. 0.92 is more careful.
