Summarizing my activity:

The missing </svg> line resulted because of a copy-and-paste error: the file I retrieved online ends with a linefeed, and my terminal did not show the last line when I ran it through cat, so it didn't get included in my copy&paste. The actual processing pipeline doesn't use a terminal, and isn't affected by this problem: it seems the final </svg> line. To be sure, I modified the generated file to include a carriage return, and I get the same error.

I also tried adding non-zero width/height to the svg file to see if it makes a difference. It does not.

The second bug I posted, ticket #721; was a problem with my test case that incidentally exposed a problem in the interpreter I was using. That bug no longer applies to this problem, but instead shows a related problem.

It does look like I need to pursue this problem in epsf.tex; or rewrite that BoundingBox line to be consistent with the GUI results until I get a fixed pushed down.
