When PDF embeds fonts instead of vectorizing, instead of the void is a "tofu" glyph

After some edits (= use « and » instead of " + embed fonts) i got this other version of the same edited text where the produced PDF is empty except a single tofu glyph.

Instead of having a 2 item group (= textframe with coloured background + SVG) inlined
i try with a 3 items group (= empty background rectangle with couloured background + svg icon + text frame with text)
It isnt any better

I found a workaround :
include a copy of the offending group outside of the page (so it doesnt appear in the produced PDF).

I can reproduce your issue in 1.5.8, but I can't in current 1.5.9.svn code.
