After further discussions, I'm not sure my original position is tenable without causing undue inconvenience in writing testcases. Nevertheless where optional features exist we need some critera to determine whether we should include them in the official testsuite. A reasonable policy might be "features that all four major engines are committed to implementing are OK to test without a precondition check". It seems that SVG-in-img (and hence SVG-in-drawImage) meet this criterion (whereas, say, PDF-in-<img> would not). Therefore I no longer have a principled objection to the substance of this testcase.
