2.2?  Are you sure?  That sounds very old.  The latest stable version
is 2.56, AFAIK.

I cannot reproduce the problems you describe, but I'm not the expert
on displaying SVG images.  If you report a bug, it will be looked at
by people who are experts.  There's no need to worry about reporting a
bug which eventually turns out not to be a bug.

AFAIU, in Emacs 28 and later you should be able to give a face text
property to the part of the buffer that displays SVG image(s), and the
background color of that face will be honored by the SVG display,
provided that (a) your librsvg is recent enough, and (b) the SVG image
itself doesn't specify a background color.
