I was slightly annoyed by this not working so I tried to see what would happen if I uncommented the two special cases for bug 324698 in gfx/src/thebes/nsThebesImage.cpp (at lines ~573 and ~785). This means that the default case, with EXTEND_PAD, is used in the switch statement.

I compiled Firefox (the official Mozilla version) with --enable-system-cairo on Ubuntu 8.04, and it worked. I've been using it like this since RC1 and I haven't noticed any problems. I also tried zooming in on the IE 8 Beta page and it looks the same as the image on your blog.

If I'm not missing something obvious here, could you please create an (temporary?) official patch that could be used to enable this in the packages of the distributions for which it works?
