Yeah. The whole device_offset thing is fairly messy. We invented it
for a very specific purpose for GTK+, and then we've started using it
here and there. You're using it here in librsvg and the cairo group
code also uses it---and apparently those two uses are conflicting.

Maybe the rule should be that if you didn't create the surface
yourself, you shouldn't be messing with the device offset.

That sounds great.

There's what I posted to the librsvg mailing list, which should be a
fairly good bug report. But I don't know that anyone has shoved
anything into bugzilla yet.
