Please see librsvg bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323114,
especially comment #12, which I will copy here. I'd be ok with
FbPixelsCreateForData not to do this initialization since you can presume it's
been done already at a higher level. Or, alternately, make them both zero out
the pixels for consistency's sake.

While librsvg creates an image surface from its
own zeroed-out data when it calls cairo_image_surface_create_for_data() (the
rsvg-view case), cairo does not do the same when in
cairo_image_surface_create() (the rsvg-convert case). It may be that cairo
expects us to call CAIRO_OPERATOR_CLEAR on the surface, but I contend that
necessity is bogus, since the presumption should be "you get a blank surface by
default", not "you get an undefined, probably corrupt surface by default". The
following patch to cairo/pixman/src/icpixels.c fixes the problem.
