Brion, it is true. The XML dumps are not renderable except on the unreleased Mediwiki. Take a look at the following. I am running 1.6.7 with all of the extensions installed against the 20060702 XMl dumps. The English and Cherokee versions are both broken. Also, SVG images are not rendered on 1.6.7 AT ALL from these dumps due to a bug in GetHeight and GetWidth in Image.php.

These pages are most likely affected by the difference in parser treatment of embedded HTML in templates when HTML Tidy is engaged.
You can install HTML Tidy (I'm fairly certain current Fedora versions include a package, if not it's in Extras) and enable its use on your wiki. Unfortunately the bug (that the behavior is different) hasn't been resolved yet; fortunately it should be easy enough for you to work around by configuring your site appropriately.
If the image bug isn't fixed in 1.6.8 already, let me know and I'll merge it for 1.6.9.
(By the way, as mentioned the other day we're pretty offtopic for Foundation-L.)
