          Platform: All

When you load an svg file from html either through embed, object or img and the svg file contains external resources, those resources can't be found.
They will be found if their URL is absolute or if you declare a xml:base.

Interestingly, if you load the svg from a XHTML file, the resources are found.

I debugged this a litte and a possible cause is in SVGImage.cpp in the function bool SVGImage::dataChanged
The SVG document is created with an empty url:
 (loader->writer()->begin(KURL()); // create the empty document

Passing the URL of the SVG file should make things work correctly...

I verified that the attached code works fine in ie9 but not in the latest webkit.
