I thought about this a little more and I think I was initially far too fundamentalist. I would be OK with simply giving the users some clear indication how to fix the display of raster images (e.g. display a dialog box that directs them to a wiki page with instructions on how to install new Cairo).

That's a very good idea. I simple call to cairo_version() gives us the nice run-time checking we need. We'd just want to be sure to add a user preference for snoozing and suppressing the dialog (e.g. "ok", "remind me later", "don't remind me again").
