xml:space="preserve" should be removed in the <svg-tag and applied to all child-elements. Then xml:space="preserve" should be removed from <rect, <path, circle, ellipse, image and all <g-tags only containing mentioned tags (maybe also all selfclosing tags).

Applying it to all <text which are not defined differently (xml:space="none"), would remove it from unknown tags such as <flowRoot.

Well, this is not a bug but documented behavior.

We could consider re-adding the xml:space="preserve" for text nodes as an enhancement in future, though.
