You should be able to do what you are trying to in SVG by using a
group (that is, a <g> element). The group could be translucent and
contain a path that is both stroked and filled without any translucence,
(so you don't end up with the result you're currently seeing).

And you should be able to achieve a similar result in cairo with code
like:

        cairo_push_group (cr);

        /* Draw your stroke and filled shape here. */

        cairo_pop_group_to_source (cr);

        cairo_set_operator (cr, CAIRO_OPERATOR_OVER);
        cairo_paint_with_alpha (cr, 0.5);

I'm not sure whether the above cairo operations map to clean <g> in SVG,
but if not, then maybe that's the cairo bug you're looking to file?
