I know nothing about either SVG images or ImageMagick, but both Zack
Piper's suggestion to try converting to PNG and experimentation with the
image source show that the problem is indeed ImageMagick, specifically,
it appears not to process the `fill' attribute value "currentColor":
after changing the value to e.g. "blue" or "red" or removing the
attribute-value pair altogether, then ImageMagick (and hence also Emacs
built with ImageMagick support) displays the image.
