css clip-path with svg not working in Chrome - css

Question

I've created an svg for use as a clip-path on an image, and it appears perfect in Firefox, however it doesn't work in Chrome, and I'm wondering what the problem is.
Chrome should support an inline svg clip-path according to this.
And full support according to MDN.
<style>
img {
width: 40%;
height: auto;
display: inline;
}
.clip {
-webkit-clip-path: url('#clip');
clip-path: url('#clip');
}
</style>
<p>Left image should be clipped, right image is not.</p>
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/nnHdzO6l.jpg" class="clip">
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/nnHdzO6l.jpg" >
<svg version="1.1"
baseProfile="full"
height="400" width="400"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<clipPath id="clip"
clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox"
transform="scale(0.0025, 0.0025)">

<circle cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50%" />
<rect width="82.8%" height="82.8%" y="17.2%" x="8.6%" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
</svg>

External SVG files are not supported by Chrome at the moment.
You can check this here:

Here is what they say about the Partial support for Chrome:
Partial support refers to supporting shapes and the url(#foo) syntax
for inline SVG, but not shapes in external SVGs.
