This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding in SVG's absoluteClippedOverflowRect implementation:

IntRect RenderSVGRoot::absoluteClippedOverflowRect()
{
    IntRect repaintRect;

    for (RenderObject* current = firstChild(); current != 0; current = current->nextSibling())
        repaintRect.unite(current->absoluteClippedOverflowRect());

#if ENABLE(SVG_FILTERS)
    // Filters can expand the bounding box
    SVGResourceFilter* filter = getFilterById(document(), style()->svgStyle()->filter());
    if (filter)
        repaintRect.unite(enclosingIntRect(filter->filterBBoxForItemBBox(repaintRect)));
#endif

    return repaintRect;
}

IntRect RenderObject::absoluteClippedOverflowRect()
{
    if (parent())
        return parent()->absoluteClippedOverflowRect();
    return IntRect();
}

These two recursively call each other. :(

One fix would be to add a absoluteClippedOverflowRect() implementation to RenderSVGGradientStop.  I'll do that  for now, but I think we may need more fixes to SVG here.

I wish the comment explained things in a more positive way. It talks about "preventing a crash", but I'd like to understand more positively what the design is.

Me too.  I'm not sure the design is right.  I don't understand how absoluteClippedOverflowRect is supposed to work.  Hyatt may be the only one who does.
