There turns out there is one other way to restore the default font
matrix cairo_default_matrix() restores both the CTM and the
font_matrix to their default values.

I think cairo_default_matrix() changing the font matrix is a pure and
simple bug (unless it copying weirdness from Postscript) ... it doesn't
make any sense to me.
