Close (it has to do with the overflow) but not quite right. Since
the element is used at 100,100 it should not be clipped by the SVG
elements
implicit clipping rectangle.

It's getting clipped by the 'symbol' element's clipping rectangle.
If you read the symbol and use sections of the SVG Spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html
You will see that when a use references a symbol, a hidden
tree is created where the symbol element is replaced with an 'svg'
element. Since an svg element defaults to clipping to the viewBox
the symbol defaults to clipping. If you want to avoid this clip
you can set 'overflow="visible"' on the symbol element (or adjust it's
viewBox so it includes the child content).
