Image surface problem when showing portion of artwork?

Sorry, my bad. My renderer was doing knockout fills as part of rendering 
only the outer portion of strokes and was doing unnecessary extra work 
which when left out, renders the paths correctly.

The other problems with stroked paths still remain; afaik it looks like 
a stroke is terminated too early when it meets a clip boundary (in this 
case the edge of the image surface).
