Reduced to this sample program:
----
#include <cairo.h>
#include <cairo-svg.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        cairo_surface_t *surface;
        cairo_t *cr;

        surface = cairo_svg_surface_create ("foo.svg", 160, 120);
        cr = cairo_create (surface);

        cairo_rectangle (cr, 0, 0, 120, 90);
        cairo_fill (cr);

        cairo_set_operator (cr, CAIRO_OPERATOR_CLEAR);

        cairo_rectangle (cr, 40, 30, 120, 90);
        cairo_fill (cr);

        cairo_destroy (cr);
        cairo_surface_write_to_png (surface, "foo.png");
        cairo_surface_destroy (surface);

        return 0;
}
----

The result is:
cairo-surface.c:178: _cairo_surface_set_error: Assertion `status <
CAIRO_STATUS_LAST_STATUS' failed.

The status value that makes it fail is CAIRO_INT_STATUS_IMAGE_FALLBACK.

The png file is successfully created, but the svg file es empty (zero
bytes).

While https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34810 was closed, it
looks like the basic problem is still there and Benjamin's comment still
applies...?
