A couple of things I noted while reading your post: The transcoder is trying to create an a tag/element named odm in the svg namespace, which does not exist. Maybe you need an additional namespace in your doc to help resolve this tag?
The doctype MAY be problematic, but does not appear to be at the heart of the issue IMHO. -- read this for the rationale behind dropping svg/doctype: https://jwatt.org/svg/authoring/#doctype-declaration I don't think your classpath is an issue at the moment. The raterizer appears to behaving normally, although it is having issues rendering because of missing info. Can you provide a more complete svg example?
