The anchors are always referenced to the page in the default user space independently on what the content or transformation is. It's impossible to keep track of the transformation, there's simply too many places where it can be changed. I can add in PdfWriter a method to apply a transformation to the annotations, you would have to write the transform in two places but the result would be correct.
