That's still strange.  M-x list-load-path-shadows RET is meant to
uncover exactly this issue.

As Eli said, it appears your emacs has no SVG image support.  You can
check with M-: (image-type-available-p 'svg) RET.  Of course, it would
be interesting to know why emacs wants to display some SVG.  Does M-x
toggle-debug-on-error RET before staring the server reveal who wants to
show the SVG?

Bye,
