When I was editing the SVGs I obtained from GitHub I noticed thar they were rather strange; the entire image just seemed to be one closed curve, highly folded to cross itself many times (creating some confusion on what was interior to be filled, and what was outside). So the black outlines of the image were not really elementary lines, but interior of a very thin curve filled with black. Even apparently disconnected elements (like the cross on the Bishops mitre) were part of this curve.

That does seem strange. Maybe they were made by some method that translates raster images into vector images. I am taking the approach of recreating piece images rather than coverting old images, and it is treating visually separate parts of the image as separate objects.
