   It turns out that the text support for PDF has been broken 
since the 1.6 release.  This is now fixed in SVN (the main thing
is the inclusion of the pdf-transcoder.jar from the new FOP release).
I would suggest trying with the SVN version of Batik.

   So you can only have a single x/y per text element (in SVG you can
provide multiple x/y values and they will be applied to each char).
BTW you can avoid using x/y all together by using the transform attribute
to place your text (but the simple case of a single x/y isn't the issue 
here).
