Sounds too drastic to me.  The bug seems to affect rare images, and
then only crops a few pixels (I initially didn't even see the
cropping).  By contrast, losing the background feature is quite a
loss.  And with my relatively ancient version of librsvg I see the bug
even before the face background feature was installed, so this is not
a regression for me.

Can't we just say this bug will persist unless new enough librsvg is
used?
