That would be a bug, and something I've never seen before. Various
tests in the test suite use cairo_rectangle(); cairo_clip();
successfully.

Can you provide a minimal test case that demonstrates the bug?

The other things that makes this behavior quite surprising is that the
implementation of cairo_rectangle is nothing more than a move_to and a
bunch of line_to's. Specifically:

    cairo_move_to (cr, x, y);
    cairo_rel_line_to (cr, width, 0);
    cairo_rel_line_to (cr, 0, height);
    cairo_rel_line_to (cr, -width, 0);
    cairo_close_path (cr);
