This looks better, but the transparent area at the top right is still a
problem. I would have to fill it with a separate paint operation. Additionally,
I would need to reverse the order of stops.

Why is the order of circles not a problem for infocus* gradients, but suddenly
starts to matter for outfocus ones? Is there actually a situation where the
rendering from my testcase is preferred over the one from yours?

By the way - the problem could be solved without any magic by just filling the
half-plane which is now left transparent with the outer color of the gradient.
There would then be a smooth transition between outfocus and infocus gradients.

* - I invented "outfocus" as an abbreviation for "gradient with focus / inner
circle outside the outer circle" and "infocus" for "gradient with focus / inner
circle inside the outer circle"
