Well, you know what you need to do, or at least what you need to get
someone else to do.

Something that might on that second point is if you could write a
minimal test case, (say, a small C program), that triggers the
bug. Jeff Muizelaar even wrote a little wrapper to extract a sequence
of cairo calls from a running program which might be useful for you in
extracting a test case:

He originally described it here:

and provided the code here:

Good luck!
