I think the patch just uploaded was not necessary and was hastily applied before diagnosing the problem.
I had already closed Bug#495620 because it seemed to be fixed using libcairo2-1.8.10-4. All of the sites that caused that problem seemed to display fine. Plus it seems to have caused other problems with nvidia. The new one that I reported (Bug#593294) seems to be a totally new problem and was not fixed by this patch.
