To be clear here - we are dealing only with some PDFs which behave like
this and not every PDF? Is it possible to quantify "often" in some way?

These applications use cairo; a PDF submitted to cups is not the same
PDF submitted by lpr and lp. In fact, lp and lpr send identical PDFs so
a poor output for lpr should also be a poor output for lp. Having a PDF
which produces an unsatisfactory print with both would be useful.

We could do with knowing what printers are used, their PPDs and how they
are connected.
