The problem is that with current cairo, the result (while better in some important ways) is really broken in others, so on balance it's about as bad as the PDF export we shipped with 0.44 (which was so bad that it [almost?] wasn't worth shipping IMO).

I disagree with this assessment. Many people welcomed the transparency-enabled PDF export in 0.44 and were happy with it, despite its bugs. It was a huge improvement over 0.43. Rasterizing everything instead, as the Cairo currently does, is in my opinion an unacceptable regression.
