The /Length is there. _cairo_pdf_surface_open_stream() adds /Length as
an indirect object.  When the stream is closed it calculates the length
and inserts the length indirect object.

In fact the patch can be simplified. The third argument of
_open_stream() is a boolean specifying if the stream is to be
compressed. You should be able to set this flag to true, remove the
/Filter that _emit_image() is adding to the dictionary and write the
uncompressed data.

This can be easily done for fonts as well.
