You should not need to do it for the text element. If you
are that could well be your problem. Are you following the
code in Boot SVG & CSS DOM?

It is not a known bug that Batik calculates the BBox of
text elements incorrectly. My two guesses are that you
aren't booting the SVG DOM correctly (see above) or that
Batik can't find the font that you are referencing (and so
substitutes a fall back font - per CSS rules). You might
check the second by trying to load the document in
Batik Squiggle.
