Too bad. Unless you want to became maintainer of mac binaries for imagemagick, which I totally understand you don't want, then little cynical solution is to wait until someone else becomes frustrated enough and do it for us... :) Workaround for the svg problem is to convert everything to eps on our side. Or make svg conversion work which might take more energy than to bump convert routine of imagemagick :) Anyway I stand by what I said, the svg trouble is to me much smaller problem than the fact that we can't do in many cases postcript output anymore.
