I believe this problem was fixed in the upstream commit:

commit 06cf031976a43df6b52b775722718b72774ad107
Author: Danny Baumann <dannybaumann@web.de>

    Add protection against empty strings (cairo doesn't like 0x0 sized
    surfaces).


This fix will be included in the upcoming 0.8.4 based upload.
