I just replicated this code (I used a simple rectangle for the path),  
using the VW/ST binding for Cairo running on Quartz. It looks fine.  
So that'd point at possible X issues, rather than Cairo issues?

Couple thoughts. You don't need the cairo_stroke, or even the  
linewidth/cap, since you're using paint which fills the whole clip area.

What happens if you turn ANTIALIAS back on? I would guess most/many  
of the Cairo cases leave AA on, so you may be in an area that doesn't  
get used much?
