That just looks like bad data to me. Overlapping shapes should be
drawn as overlapping shapes, not by subtracting foreground shapes from
the background shapes before they are drawn.

I've certainly never seen any other SVG file that was constructed in
this manner.

If a user has data like this and thinks that dilation is the right
approach to fix it, then the user is free to do so. Cairo certainly
won't be making changes like that to the data the user provides.
