but what's happening here sounds like it's neither. you give the object a position and size AND you use a transform to move it elsewhere.

I agree that either one can be the right thing to do at different times, but the combination of them seems wrong.

It's not "wrong". It is valid SVG. It's just inconsistent.

Simply put, up to now it was not a problem for anyone, so we didn't bother fixing it. If it's a problem for you, look up how it's done for rects and submit a patch for ellipses. Otherwise, I _may_ get round to fixing it myself but I cannot promise any specific time frame.
