[cairo] SVG backend bug?

[Edward Zimmermann]

Its being produced by rendering PDF. The test PDF has been attached to this mail.
Its interesting to also note that Poppler renders it correctly as PNG but its SVG
completely fails (using pdftocairo -png resp. -svg). This too seems to indicate
problems in the SVG backend as our front-ends are fully and completely different.

Using Cairo I've rendered it through a number of back-ends..
Image surface [OK]
PS surface [OK]
PDF surface [OK]
SVG suface [FAILS]

What is also interesting is that if I do a write PNG from the SVG surface the result is
OK (low quality but placement is correct). This seems to indicate that the SVG writer is
messing up.

Yeah, like it's inverted and rotated 180 degrees or something.

To answer that, it might be instructive to know more step-by-step how
you're producing this composition.  Possibly if the matrix is
constructed differently or avoided in favor of simpler transformations
you may be able to work around it.
