Bug description

When using an SVG containing a gradient as the custom logo of your Nextcloud, the PNG file version of the Logo generated for mails etc. is faulty.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to your-nextcloud.com/settings/admin/theming

  2. Under "Logo", upload an SVG file containing a gradient, like this one:
    Image

  3. Let the Nextcloud send a transactional mail (e.g. via inviting a new user)

  4. See how the PNG version of the Logo is not present:
    Image

  5. Check via your-nextcloud.com/apps/theming/image/logo?useSvg that the PNG generated is faulty.

Expected behavior

The PNG version of the logo gets generated correctly.
