I was not being able to reproduce until I pasted the text portion you have
referred into before the "svg" element but after the comment. Doing that will
cause the document to be invalid XML (the document should always start with the
XML preamble [1] [2], comments may follow). If you paste the header into very
beginning of the file, it does works without issuing any error (as expected).

Note that this is more related to "XML parsing" than to "Scripting"
("Component" attribute for the report), although Batik doesn't seem to have a
specific component for that, as an external library (Xerces [3]) is used for
XML parsing - if you still believe there's an underlying issue, please consider
filing a report within that project.

As a side note, although this doesn't interfere with this particular issue,
using Doctype declaration for SVG is generally not recommended [4].
