Comment:

 The setStyle function in SVG.js attempts to remove the point node from the
 renderer (which it has not been added to yet), because in the case of an
 externalGraphic, it needs to change the element type from 'point' to
 'image'.

 I think this means that in order to make this work, a relatively complex
 reworking of the renderer functionality would be needed, and I'm not
 willing to let that go into an RC this late in the game. If we decide that
 we have something we like early into 2.6, we can observe use cases to
 ensure that we haven't broken anything, and then either pull it back to
 the 2.5 branch, or release an override addon to let people have it in 2.5.

 Uploading the patch which makes vector-features work for me.
