Yep. Uploading a PNG is not actually providing the editable form per GFDL. When I've uploaded a PNG I've included my email for the SVG itself should anyone want the editable version.
Strictly speaking, that's not a problem whith the GFDL: you are uploading and distributing a PNG, and the license applies to that image, not to the SVG. If instead you are redistributing someone else's SVG, then the GFDL requires you to put the SVG itself for download.
Well, it does mean that if you have a GFDL SVG file, you can't put a PNG of it on Wikipedia. There do not seem to be many of those yet, but with the wide distribution of Inkscape, I expect them to start appearing rapidly.
This is easily remedied by allowing SVG upload, which is why I am asking what would be needed for it to be re-enabled.
