transparent.pdf

There is a semi-transparent image in the attached PDF "transparent.pdf". 

When converted with pdftocairo 0.24.5 based on cairo 1.12.16 with all the
recent patches from master branch, pdftocairo -ps -level3 transparent.pdf
transparent-cairo.ps, we get unexpected black background on that image. 

When converted with pdftops 0.24.5, pdftops -level3 transparent.pdf
transparent-ps.ps, background is rendered properly, white. 


transparent.pdf, transparent-cairo.ps, and transparent-ps.ps are attached.</pre>
