I suggest that we treat this part of the API as broken-by-design and try
to come up with a thread-safe way of accessing FreeType objects that
doesn't rely on cairo using ugly tricks of this nature. I think this
will require thread-safe interfaces in FreeType, which appears to be the
basic source of the difficulty.
