Indeed, that's turns out to be the version pycairo was compiled against.

Thanks for the hint - had to look at /proc/*/maps as pmap only shows the
library basename -- leading to more confusion.

Having double checked that my checkout is up-to-date, running
"util/cairo-view '@cairo:serif' 0 0 48" generates two empty rectangles -
which I immediately blamed on python linking against the wrong cairo.
Time to actually look at what is going on and to stop jumping to
conclusions. :-|
