Well. That will amount to rewriting the patch significantly.
The current variant of the patch is not ideal IMHO because it does not
offer the flexibility org-compile-file would provide (like multi-step
export if a user would wish to; and automatic error reporting).
Basically, using org-compile-file will auto-magically bring all the
features of `org-latex-pdf-process' to svg conversion.

Right. The commentary is indeed confusing.
You should just do
(setq my-temp-file ;; create a temp file and store the path
(make-temp-file "bug" nil ".txt" "example data")) ;=>
"/tmp/bugehW89U.txt"
(org-persist-write `(file ,my-temp-file))
(org-persist-read `(file ,my-temp-file))
;=>".../org/persist/de/5467e7-5f9a-4925-bdde-f7d1dff7420f-d343f2e9ee81afdfcd38f1704f5983d8.txt"
I just fixed the example in commentary.
