When I tried it last time, cairo-trace just does not work right with 16bpp
desktop. Well, it runs, but it records (and later plays back) something
different from what was really executed. Basically it looked like the
operations with 16bpp destination were changed into operations with 32bpp
destination in a trace playback.

Maybe it's not too difficult to address.
