OK. It sounds like this is implemented incorrectly in WebKit then.
IF we were to implement giving access to the current path, it makes little
sense to give access to the one that is actively managed by the canvas
rendering context (= returning it as an attribute) so we should provide
get/setCurrentPath methods.
