Inkscape must follow CSS which uses the "direction" property to set the base text direction. If you add 'direction:rtl' to the style attribute of the text element, the text is rendered as you expect.

Unfortunately, there is no GUI at the moment to set the "direction" property.

Note, both Firefox and Chrome render the test svg file in the same way as Inkscape.
