Same problem here.
Glad that I found this bug report. This issue was driving me crazy.
I rebuilt libcairo2 with the workaround #3 of Przemysław and problem fixed.
Maintainer: The Nvidia packages on Wheezy are 302.17-3. I think you should apply
the patch below to the package version of libcairo2 that Wheezy will ship.
Otherwise this issue will screw everyone that uses a Nvidia card and wants to
run Chromium on Wheezy. Not sure if this can be a valid reason for upgrading
the priority of this bug to RC, but please consider applying this easy
workaround
for libcairo2/Wheezy.
Just in case this can be useful for anyone. Here is the patch I applied:
