Cairo is designed to produce the same output across all surfaces. If an
operation is not supported it is rasterized. I'm not sure that there is any
sensible alternative. Do you think it should ignore unsupported drawing
operations or convert them to something that is supported but looks obviously
different?

You can grep the PostScript for the 'Fallback' comment. The only way to avoid
fallback images is to restrict yourself to drawing operations that are natively
supported by surface you are using.
