From what I've been able to deduce about this, is that the text will always be placed at the 'begining' of the stroke as the path. The solution I've managed to use is to have multiple strokes (the visible one and then copy it and alter it to suit what I want), place the text in the duplicate as the path, and then make the duplicate either transparent or not drawing the stroke. I feel this approach is a tad convoluted, but works.
Text on a path allows for a start offset, which sounds like it would do what you need.
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/text.html#TextOnAPathIntroduction
startOffset="0%" will anchor the text at the beginning of the path.
startOffset="100%" will anchor the text at the end of the path.
startOffset="50%" will anchor the text at the middle of the path.
In combination with that, you can align the text to left, right or middle.
