I see!  Thanks for the pointer; I did try searching the bug tracker for
anything mentioning both "cairo" and "SVG", but this particular report
slipped under my radar (maybe because there is no explicit mention of
"SVG"?  Or maybe my search-fu is just too weak).

I guess the incentives to apply small, specific patches like mine are
not very compelling if a more systemic fix is around the corner.
