This is not a new issue and this problem is demonstrated under many forms.

Large attributes on circle size are not handled correctly: Bug 333964

Large rectangles do not respond to mouse events: Bug 343340

Very long lines are not displayed: Bug 315383

I would really like to have this bug addressed. I submitted a new bug report to simplify the issue at hand. I have tried to test multiple platforms and builds to demonstrate the amplitude of the issue. If more help is needed in tracking this down, please let me know.

This is known and documented in http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_in_Firefox#Coordinate_range

Note that cairo may change to 24.8 in 1.6
