Do you really think this may even remotely be related to the bios?!? Or
are you going to reject every bug report that is reported with a non-
latest bios?

I really need to know that, because if it is the latter, then I'll stop
wasting my time reporting bugs and trying to make ubuntu better, as I'm
obviously not going to update the bios when Ubuntu doesn't provide an
easy way to do it and the link yoy point to only provides downloads for
windows.

It seems to me that it is completely obvious here that the issue is in the way 
the OS manages memory.
Also, the bug should be pretty straight-forward to reproduce on ANY machine, so 
if you have a machine with the bios updated, you should be able to try yourself 
by doing the following:
- have a multi-gigabyte SVG file
- try to open it in eog
and see if that reproduces the issue.

BTW Note that whether the bug report is incomplete or not, "importance
low" is very wrong.
