It sounds from
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/719320/comments/3> as though
inkscape makes a deliberate effort to support LaTeX markup in their
pdf+latex output. So it’s not surprising that % is a problem.
It’s unfortunate from the perspective of having a single SVG file that
works in both HTML and LaTeX, but I don’t know if that is an argument
that will cut ice with them. I don’t know what org can/should do to
patch around inkscape’s design decisions.
Certainly the svg LaTeX package could be patched to use inkscape’s pdf
export, instead of the pdf+latex one. This would lose the nice fonts
that running the text through latex nets you, but get rid of the %
annoyances.

Have you looked at the \graphicspath macro from the graphics package?
<http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=graphicspath>. You may
be able to get things to work by adding \graphicspath{{fig/}} (note the
double braces) to your document. \setsvg{svgpath=fig/} from the svg
package may also/additionally be needed.

PS Maybe org should be generating the \includesvg command relative to
the graphicspath or svgpath – I’m not sure. But let us know if setting
those variables works at all, and if so we can think about adding
support to org.
