Your approach defeats the purpose of using SVG in the first place, and

really want to work out how use my SVG-with-alpha directly in LyX, or
at least some vector format that will look OK.
I wonder if there's an SVG-to-EPS converter that doesn't something
smart with regard to alpha channels? It would need to flatten the
layers of the vector image in a vectorised way, rather than the
bitmapped way that most renderers no double work.
If you're making a PDF, don't bother with EPS if you don't have to.
Can your SVG be converted to PDF directly? pdflatex likes figures in
pdf format. xfig drawings are treated this way already.
