Mats, thanks a lot for the convert-ly hint. Yes, after converting the example as well as my score work as expected - but only with pdf output! The svg output is still crappy. Happy me that scribus which I use to build the booklet is able to embed (successfully though experimental) pdfs as well. I originally started with embedding svg.
Thanks to Bill as well: Working with Scribus would allow me to add such a separately generated "graphical element" as a workaround with ease.
