[Mediawiki-l] SVG Thumbnail errors

I'm using ImageMagick to render SVG images on my wiki but some of the thumbnails have problems with them.  For exampled this SVG image has some pixels in the upper left hand corner that shouldn't be there: http://thecatholicguide.com/wiki/File:Arms_of_Basilica.svg

My wiki is hosted so my only image converting option is ImageMagick.  Is there anything I can do to get better thumbnails?

Thanks,
Caitlin
