When I run the program with line width 2, I see a rectangle with a
thicker, white border. When the rectangle is filled later (in red),
the fill paints over the inner half of said border, and only a 1 pixel
border remains.

Yes.

Not for me, I get the same result as in 1). (Using cairo 1.4.12 on
linux. The git version produces the same result.)

You are probably hitting some bug (although I have no clue where that
bug could be). But in any case, the behaviour in case 1) is the correct
one, even if it is not what you expected.
