symbols in SVG file don't show in browers 0.91

[Brynn]

Hi Friends,
I uploaded an SVG file to my InkSpace (in inkscape.org gallery) but none of the symbols show up. The file is attached. At first I thought it was an issue with the gallery, but after contacting the website team, this bug report came up: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1107924.

It showed Fix Committed at the time I added my comment, but was quickly changed to Fix Released. I'm not sure what that means (is it fixed only in the development version, or it's fixed in 0.91, but the fix didn't work). The 2nd to last comment there requests for a new bug report to be made. But since I don't understand that, I'm not clear for which issue, a new report is being requested. So I'll report both (sorry, but I want to make sure a potential problem isn't overlooked).

The symbols are missing when I view this file in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Windows Explorer thumbnails. All are current and up to date versions. (At the moment, that's Ff 36.0.1, IE 11.0.9600.17691 and I don't know how to find a version for Windows Explorer.) I don't have any other browsers or SVG viewers to test with. This is in Win7, 64-bit, SP1 and I made the file with both 32- and 64-bit versions of 0.91. I don't remember in which version the symbols were made.....probably some with each versions of Inkscape.

Please let me know if you need any further info. And apologies if this report is not needed.

All best :-)

- reproduced on IE9, the symbols are missing
- reproduced on IE8 using the Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 plugin. In this case the status bar shows an error message:
  "bad CSS property or descriptor declaration"
- not reproduced on GIMP 2.8

in this svg file the <use> elements that refer to symbols have width and height set as 100%, for example

    <use
       id="use10509"
       xlink:href="#g10456"
       x="0"
       y="0"
       width="100%"
       height="100%"
       transform="translate(-406.3197,-172.46738)" />

If I use the XML editor to manually edit the file to add the symbol attribute "overflow" = "visible", that seems to solve the problem, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1107924/comments/1

result is attached here, using Inkscape 0.91:

    <symbol
       id="g10456"
       overflow="visible"
       style="overflow:visible">
      <g
         id="g6768"
         transform="matrix(0.75,0,0,0.75,1610.8534,-102.23805)">
