Yes--the last example is what I used to get when importing .svg saved from inkscape 9.2.3--tested saved as defalt/plain svg/optimized svg (the ligther option, for including in ePub) WITHOUT breaking the path.
However, I also tested opening those exported .svg files in browser (chrome, explorer/edge, firefox under linux) and they showed no problem... 
It seems that the trouble (apparently with relative placement of subpats) is Gimp-specific.
