If you use fo:instream-foreign-object instead, you don't have to encode
the SVG in base64 and it might also reduce memory consumption just a bit.
fo:instream-foreign-object has pretty much the same properties as
fo:external-graphic.

It could be that FOP doesn't behave 100% correctly in this case, as the
SVG itself doesn't really have an intrinsic size. I'll have to look into
this. But if you want to squeeze the image into the rectangle you
specify with content-width and content-height, you can set
scaling="non-uniform".

Well, in theory x and y on a a top-level SVG element shouldn't even have
an effect if you follow the SVG spec to the letter. x and y will only
help you a bit positioning the graphic inside the coordinate system. I
would discourage its use on a top-level SVG element.

That's weird. SVG and PNG should behave the same, at least it does in my
tests. Are you using the latest FOP version (0.95)?
