Hi Bruce, I ran into the same problems. Unfortunately this issue isn't specified in SVG. As a temporary workaround until this is solved, I recommend placing invisible rectangles as a "mask" above the main map. These rectangles can have a fill and stroke of none and a pointer-events attribute set to fill.
I also raised an issue about that with the SVG working group to have it specified in SVG 1.2 full. Maybe we can convince the Firefox/Batik developers to adopt their behavior before this is fully specified.
