Google Maps SVG marker doesn't display on IE 11

My SVG map marker disappears on IE11. It's visible in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9 & 10, but not 11. I've uploaded a JSfiddle of my current code. I can't tell if this is me or a bug with Google Maps.

  var styledMapOptions = {
    name: 'US Road Atlas'
  };

  var usRoadMapType = new google.maps.StyledMapType(
      roadAtlasStyles, styledMapOptions);

  map.mapTypes.set('usroadatlas', usRoadMapType);
  map.setMapTypeId('usroadatlas');

  // var transitLayer = new google.maps.TransitLayer();
  // transitLayer.setMap(map);
};

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Adding scaledSize to the image/icon and optimized: false to the marker solved it for me.

http://jsfiddle.net/kQRbr/31/

var image = {
    url: 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/foundicons/3.0.0/svgs/fi-marker.svg',
    scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(100, 100),
}

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: sanfrancisco,
    map: map,
    optimized: false,
    icon: image
});

It seems Google Maps currently doesn't support using SVGs for marker images. You can have vector marker icons though, by using a Symbol object.

For more details, see my answer to this question.
