I have some SVG icons I'm using which show up correctly in Firefox and Safari, like this:
...but they come out clipped at the edges like this in Chrome (both MacOS and Windows):
The source images are square (they have square viewBoxes, even if there's extra internal blank space), and my SVG markup treats them as square:
<image id="download" href="assets/download.svg" x="161.5" y="0.5" width="2.5" height="2.5"/>
<text id="low-battery-text" x="169" y="2.75" text-anchor="end"></text>
<image id="low-battery" href="assets/low-battery.svg" x="169.5" y="0.5" width="2.5" height="2.5"/>
If I make the specified height of these icons a bit taller then Chrome stops clipping them, but that changes the positioning and scaling of the images a bit too. And besides, it shouldn't be necessary.
I get the impression that Chrome is ignoring the (No, that's not it.)viewBox values for the SVG images, it's finding the internal edges of the images, and scaling according to that (but that's just a guess).
Here's what the SVG inside one of the SVG files looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 30 30">

I can only find very different topics discussed when I try to Google for an answer to this problem, so I hoping someone who may have encountered a similar issue might have a suggestion for fixing it.
Update:
Interesting experiment - it isn't a good solution, but it's perhaps revealing of the underlying problem.
If I bypass using an SVG image file, and paste the content of the SVG file into my own SVG, the clipping problem goes away:
<svg viewBox="0 0 30 30" x="161.5" y="0.5" width="2.5" height="2.5">
