css - IE11 using svg as background-image fails

Question

I'm facing a weird problem with Internet Explorer 11 running on Windows 10 machine. Using an SVG image as background thats appears totally black, Edge with the same code works fine.

Here a little fiddle reproducing my problem

Using this, Edge renders SVG rightly, IE renders only a black image...and i can't understand such a different behaviour! Furthermore, on a Windows 7 machine IE11 works fine!

Some ideas? Thanks in advance guys!
