I've been experiencing broken print output with the current cairo version (in evince) as well [1], and there seem to be other users affected as well. Intrigeri has kindly prepared patches [3], mostly backports from upstream commits, which at least fixed the problems I had with my PDF files. I've poked Emilio to upload cairo with those patches applied. He said he could do it early next week. If Emilio is busy then, I can offer to NMU. Rolf, the PDF you posted at [4] seems to show up fine in evince's print preview with those patches applied. But if you could also test the patches from [3] then this would be appreciated.
