I was actually seeing bugs with blending in Core Graphics and not in pixman.
I got pulled away from looking at blending in cairo. Hopefully, I will get
back to it later this week.

No, the SVG operators should match the PDF ones. It would be a mistake to
have 2 different formulas for the same blend mode.
The confusing part if that the PDF (and CSS) blend modes are done in
non-premultiplied space and produce a color before you composite.
