Clearly an excellent document.

OK, I'm pretty sure that the first patch that affects image.c is
working right, which means my mediocre lisp skills are biting me here.

Can you try running

    (concat "svg{fill:" (face-foreground 'doc-view-svg-face) "}")

and see what it returns?

Although it's only just now occurred to me that I have no idea what
face-foreground might return, presumably things that aren't CSS
compatible?

Hmm...

Can you try replacing line 1680 in lisp/doc-view.el with

    :foreground (face-foreground 'doc-view-svg-face)
    :css "svg{fill:currentcolor;}")))

I think that's the right number of brackets...
