I was involved in writing ReportLab's renderSVG module (Robin,
correct me, if I'm wrong), but I am no longer and I don't know
how much RL supports or even uses this code nowadays.

What I suggest is that you create a couple of test cases and
run roundtrip tests (SVG->PDF->SVG and PDF->SVG->PDF) using
renderSVG and my svglib package [1] in order to get some more
concrete ideas about what is actually going wrong.
