I could imagine that gnome-netstatus' code expects the SVG to have similar brain-dead size information as the normal icons. Upstream icon has:
daniel@bert:~$ file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gnome-netstatus-75-100.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gnome-netstatus-75-100.png: PNG image data, 11 x 32, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced daniel@bert:~$
(So 11x32 for a 48x48 icon.)
If somebody likes to investigate that, that'd be nice.
