I think we really need to find out what's going on here before
changing the code. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows setup where I
can run Xming, so I can't debug. 

It would be very useful to know whether pixman_fill() is called with
different arguments depending on whether your patch is applied.

Also, a screenshot of the corruption could be useful.
