I'm not a specialist on these matters, but AFAIK Batik basically uses the Java2D/Graphics2D infrastructure from Java which may have limitations in this regard at least on some platforms (probably even depending on the OS backend). Enlarging the canvas for painting and then downscaling the resulting bitmap might actually not be the worst idea in this case. But maybe I'm missing something.
