SVG file which does not produce expected output when saved as pdf Edit (101.9 KiB, image/svg+xml)

If I understand correctly, this bug is still present in 0.92.1 r15371 on Windows 7.
I attached a file that gave me this problem; the red shape was generated by matplotlib in python (with rasterized=True).

1) Saving this as pdf, the red shape does not show up at all. Workaround: Select the red shape, Ungroup.
(This could to be related to bugs #605151, #1457791, #1258265, #1285487, #1446992, #1571176 )

2) When saving the resulting file as pdf, the red shape shows weird white distortions. Workaround: Select the red shape, right click, release mask; then select the black&white mask and delete it.
(This could be related to bug #1625633, as well as some of the ones I mentioned above)

The resulting file after these two workarounds looks as I expected.

Since the mask was apparently automatically created by matplotlib, it took me ages to figure out that there was a mask to begin with, which could be the problem.
