I somehow fail to see what the problem is. The default SVG wrapper that both Sigil and Calibre create for cover pages passes ePubCheck, and you can of course also use the SVG wrapper to wrap an .svg image with text in it.

For example, I quickly slapped together a simple ePub with a text based SVG cover image that uses an embedded blackletter font. This ePub passes ePubCheck and displays as expected with ADE and you can easily change the cover text by editing the .svg file in Sigil.
