The current point is not handled correctly by cairo's pattern interface.
If current point is not 0,0 patterns will be generated incorrectly. I'll
try to get this bug fixed as soon as possible. I know that this is the
case for at least problem "3-". I wouldn't be surprised if problems "1-"
and "2-" are also related to this.

Thanks for reporting the problems.
