Describe the bug

Some SVGs go missing after a browser refresh (ctrl+shift+r).

After alot of trial and error, it appears to be due to the contents of the SVGs themselves (yes, sounds crazy), in this case, I demonstrate the problem using vitepress' icon and also included an icon (trash.svg) that does not cause the problem.

The telltale sign is to looking for warnings when running npm run build

As far as I can tell, this is likely due to vitepress SSR because the issue does not happen when npm run dev and also when the component used only vite + vue + vite-svg-loader.

Reproduction

https://github.com/bilogic/vitepress-missing-vue-icon

Navigate to this URL /tool/widget and follow the instructions there, can also refer to video

Expected behavior

SVG should always appear consistently, and not go missing

Additional context

If you get this warning when running npm run build, then one of the SVGs has a problem:
