surf/midori www browser svg rendering broken

[irrelative]

Need to view in browser some svg plot, created with matplotlib/pylab (python). In most major www browsers svg rendering is good, but in surf there is no grid, nor vertical lines. I think, this is related to webkit bug ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92254 ). There is <defs> construction at the end of svg body structure, if I move it to the top of svg body, surf rendering become appropriate.

Summary: need to view svg plot in surf
Expected: some functions plot with grid, legend, lines
Happened: some functions plot with legend, horizontal lines, but without grid and vertical lines

Command to view svg:
$ surf file:///tmp/plot.svg

I built surf from sources ( http://git.suckless.org/surf ) with ubuntu 14.04 webkit devs packages, but the bug is still here.

$ /opt/surf/bin/surf -v

At the same time, some webkit(-gtk) based www browsers (Chromium) render this plots good.

$ chromium-browser --version
Chromium 38.0.2125.111 Ubuntu 14.04

Just tested this case in Ubuntu versions of Midori and Epiphany and the svg rendering is broken too.

$ midori --version
Midori 0.4.3
