I spent some time tracking down the problem with trap-clip.c on win32,
and it wasn't really related to the win32 code at all.

Note that _cairo_surface_get_extents() is possibly dependent
on the clip ... this has always been the case and was intended to be
the case, though it isn't entirely clear from the function docs.

All the code calling _cairo_surface_get_extents() expects this, but the
problem is that the call in _cairo_clip_intersect_mask() is calling
_cairo_surface_get_extents() on a surface *where the clip isn't 
up-to-date*. We actually set the clip on the surface lazily ... and 
only update it before actually drawing. The clip in trap-clip.c ends
up being a clip from a previous grid square and has no intersection
with the current code.

Adding this updating code in cairo_gstate_clip() as in the attached 
patch fixes the problem, but might exact an unnecessary performance
penalty. It might be better to do it instead in
_cairo_clip_intersect_mask() right before calling get_extents().

The issue in self-copy may be entirely different ... I haven't looked 
at it.
