I compiled the libxml from source setting xmlParserMaxDepth=2048, but this document takes several minutes to load and at least two minutes for every ungroup step. This would take ages.

Ishmal found out, that adding (xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink") (without brackets) to the starting svg element would correct the thing.

To remove unnecessary groups the attached php script can be handy.

In rev 9775 I added XML_PARSE_HUGE flag to libxml parsing call, so now it no longer errors out on more than 256 nested groups. This bug and my own experience show that such documents happen from time to time, e.g. on import from PDF. The file attached here now opens normally (after fixing its namespace problem) and is editable, even if slow.
