According to "git show 1.16.0:src/cairo-pdf-surface.c", line 3375 is the
second line of this multi-line statement:

  transparency_group = pdf_source->hash_entry->need_transp_group ||
    !(pdf_source->hash_entry->operator == CAIRO_OPERATOR_OVER &&
      _cairo_recording_surface_has_only_bilevel_alpha (recording) &&
      _cairo_recording_surface_has_only_op_over (recording));

[...]

so.... in the above line, one of the two statements with "recording"
must be accessing an uninitialised value. The two functions just return
recording->has_bilevel_alpha and recording->has_only_op_over,
respectively. In fact, those are the only two members that
cairo_recording_surface_create() initialises, but
_cairo_recording_surface_snapshot() does not.

Since I still cannot reproduce this (for whatever reason...), could you
test the following patch for me?

diff --git a/src/cairo-recording-surface.c b/src/cairo-recording-surface.c

     _cairo_array_init (&surface->commands, sizeof (cairo_command_t *));
     status = _cairo_recording_surface_copy (surface, other);

Thanks,
Uli

somebody else for advice, at least someone who's... got more experience
