Error diffusion is a good idea in principle, but the problem you
describe above is quite tricky to deal with. A hash of the source y
coordinate won't work in the case where the source is a solid color and
the coordinates are simply (0, 0). A hash of the destination y
coordinate is not going to work either, because it would cause stripes
when scrolling.

I think we just need to fix the bug and make the transformed paths use
the wide pipeline when wide formats are involved.
