Generates preview.
Observed behavior:
Gives error popup about being unable to generate preview. Reproduced for both files above.

@Glrx I do see the popup but I also see the preview rendered fine. Do you see the preview?
Original SVG preview shows. Changes do not show and trigger another popup.
Make target language fr; English labels still show.
File:999-percentages.svg had issues.
It did not have an XML processing instruction, so MW does not serve it as SVG. I added the PI, and the file now validates with the W3C validatior.
The text elements assert xml:space="preserve" but had extraneous 40px-high whitespace before and after the desired 18px-high text. My guess is that caused the $x substrings to occur. I removed the dubious whitespace. I don't know how to clear the toolforge cache, so I uploaded a copy of the file to File:Test.svg. The file now displays the preview without incident.
All of this suggests problems with tspan processing.
