On Google Maps API v3 it's working just fine for me with this code (which also handles resizing):

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
  position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
  icon: new google.maps.MarkerImage('/path/to/icon.svg',
    null, null, null, new google.maps.Size(64,64)),
  draggable: false,
  map: map
});
