I did.  The bug is in how we print doubles out.  We use %f, because
scientific syntax is not ok in the output.  But then %f is not flexible
enough and is producing 0.000001 when it should be doing
0.000000707106781 or something more like that.  I really wish %g could
be used.  Anyway, I'll cook a patch that should also optimize the way we
write out numbers a bit.

In the mean time, this works:

diff --git a/src/cairo-output-stream.c b/src/cairo-output-stream.c
index 5bce0e3..0e3720e 100644

     decimal_point = locale_data->decimal_point;
