Sorry, I was mistaken here. That command appears to be reliable for
this purpose.

It turns out we were talking about two different versions of 'inkscape'.
I was confused by the fact that our 'inkscape' variable points to an
older version of inkscape than "inkscape" selects on the command line.
Anyway, it turns out that inkscape@1.0.2 improperly retains a reference
to its native-input 'imagemagick', but inkscape@0.92.4 does not.
See <https://bugs.gnu.org/47479> for more.

What I wrote is true for many of the graph types supported by "guix
graph", but not when "--type=references" is passed.
Sorry for the confusion.
