It looks like there's a bug here. stops[1] should probably be
stops[pattern->base.n_stops - 1] lines 1498 - 1500. Apart from that,
it's supposed to work.

That's fine. SVG says:

"If two gradient stops have the same offset value, then the latter
gradient stop controls the color value at the overlap point. In
particular: 
<stop offset="0" stop-color="white"/>
<stop offset=".2" stop-color="red"/>
<stop offset=".2" stop-color="blue"/>
<stop offset="1" stop-color="black"/>
will have approximately the same effect as: 
<stop offset="0" stop-color="white"/>
<stop offset=".1999999999" stop-color="red"/>
<stop offset=".2" stop-color="blue"/>
<stop offset="1" stop-color="black"/>
which is a gradient that goes smoothly from white to red, then abruptly
shifts from red to blue, and then goes smoothly from blue to black."
