Producing a smaller SVG thumbnail of a SVG image would definitely be possible. Looking at Flag_of_Mexico, almost all the coordinates have several decimal places, so could reduce the accurancy of those in a smaller image without loosing anything.
Opting for producing a cached PNG thumbnail in the example given (tiny flag images) as is done at present is likely suitable when the page is explicitly asking for a tiny thumbnail. Send the full SVG for the printed stylesheet, maybe.
(this is all highly theoretical and going nowhere without running code of course)
