That issue is not limited to the debugging png loader, simply that the
mime-data on a surface does not reflect drawing made to a surface. It was
decided that attaching mime-data to a surface rather than a pattern would
be more convenient for the expected users, even though it leads to this
semantic mismatch. (A pattern is also not nearly as immutable as it might
be...)
