The line that would make the message in Scribus 1.5 is commented out.
scribus/plugins/import/svg/svgplugin.cpp: //              ScMessageBox::warning(mw, CommonStrings::trWarning, tr("SVG file contains some unsupported features"));
The line is in Scribus 1.4 not is not commented out.
scribus/plugins/import/svg/svgplugin.cpp:                     QMessageBox::warning(mw, CommonStrings::trWarning, tr("SVG file contains some unsupported features"), 1, 0, 0);
If you are getting the message, the problem is probably something in the SVG.
Only Scribus 1.5 supports the --python-script and --no-gui command line options.
