It's a bug. Should have realised when the docs said remove, it meant hide.
;-)
Yours is a nice simple fix, though I wonder if we should fix
_cairo_user_data_array_set_data(key, NULL) to actually remove the slot.

Sure, start a suite of tests for mime-surface-api.c As we also want to make
sure that we do get the exact same data returned from get as for set.
(The drawing test should cover that, but doesn't actually imply no copy
was made etc.)
