enzyme: An InvalidCharacterError when mounting a component using an svg

I have a component which uses the following svg file:

delete.svg

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="28" height="32" viewBox="0 0 28 32">
    <path fill="#95A6B8" fill-rule="evenodd" ... />
</svg>

MyComponent.js

import DeleteIcon from "./delete.svg";
import style from "./MyComponent.scss";

class MyComponent extends Component {
  removeItemFromList(item, event) {
      //...
  }

  render() {
      return <div>
              <DeleteIcon
                className={style.removeButton}
                onClick={this.removeItemFromList.bind(this, item)}
              />
      <div>
}
export default MyComponent;

MyComponent.test.js

  describe("editable", function() {
    let componentWrapper;

    beforeEach(() => {
      componentWrapper = mount(
        <MyComponent
          data={[]}
        />
      );
    });

    afterEach(() => {
      componentWrapper.unmount();
    });

    it("testing something...", () => {
      expect(componentWrapper.exists(".someClass")).toEqual(true);
    });

  })

Current behavior

When mounting, I get the following InvalidCharacterError error:

InvalidCharacterError: "" did not match the Name production: Unexpected syntax in top
Line 1:

Expected behavior

Mounting is successful. Using shallow this error isn’t thrown.

I’ve seen issue #1510 but it’s really the same error…
