For now better use <ellipse rx='20' ry='20' cx='20' cy='20'>, as Sven
found out the circle element has a bug that has just been fixed in CVS
HEAD. This will be fixed in 2.2.11.

In CVS head there also is
(gimp-vectors-bezier-stroke-new-ellipse ...)
which could be used, but arguably the SVG import is still simpler since
it immediately creates a path object, which needs to be created manually
for -stroke-new-ellipse first.
This will not be backported to 2.2.x, you have to wait for 2.4 to see
this in a stable release.
