What's more, this problem doesn't happen in Emacs 26.2.90.  Can you
see why it started happening in Emacs 27?  Maybe that will provide a
hint as to how to fix it.

Btw, I see the same behavior as you, Pip: g_object_unref error
messages and no crash.  librasvg returns a NULL handle, but it also
returns a non-zero err.  My librsvg version is 2.40.1.
