IE Edge: SVG relative path does not work

I have an issue when using SVG in an iFrame in Internet Explorer Edge: the relative path is converted to an absolute one, with parent website as the base.

Here is a simple example:

Parent website:

<html>

    <body>

        <iframe src="./js/index.html" frameborder="0"></iframe>

    </body>

</html>

Iframe (js/index.html):

<html>

    <body>

        <svg>

            <use xlink:href="./img1/icons1.svg#icon-view-close"></use>

        </svg>

        <img src="./img1/image1.jpg" alt="">

    </body>

</html>

Network debugger:
enter image description here

In the network debugger, instead of requesting "http://localhost:5500/js/img1/icons1.svg", Edge is requesting "http://localhost:5500/img1/icons1.svg".

The problem seems only to affect SVG use, because the JPG image's path is correctly interpreted: "http://localhost:5500/js/img1/image1.jpg"

Note: I tried converting the deprecated xlink:href to a simple href, but it does not change anything.

It works fine in every other browsers we tested: Chrome, FF and even IE 11, as we use the JS lib https://github.com/Keyamoon/svgxuse

(I'm using Microsoft Edge 41.16299.785.0; on Windows 10.)

I would really appreciate any input in this matter!
Thanks in advance for your time :)
