build webkit with foriegnObject support build-webkit --svg-foreign-object then try selecting the text in the linked url
This is not fixed in Safari 4, but might be fixed in tip of tree.
Turns out I have a fix for this locally. Now I just need to find a way to turn this into a test case.
No problems here. It's not possible to start the slection on top of the shape, but works around it. The repaint works. Can we close this bug?

I still see a bug, open the linked URL, and start selecting the text from top left, then move to the bottom right, triggers following assertion: ASSERTION FAILED: useTransforms (/Users/nikolaszimmermann/Coding/WebKit/WebCore/rendering/RenderSVGRoot.cpp:273 virtual void WebCore::RenderSVGRoot::mapLocalToContainer(WebCore::RenderBoxModelObject*, bool, bool, WebCore::TransformState&) const)
