If we decide that the right thing is to do nothing when when the CTM is
non-invertible, then sure, we can just do that. The idea of storing the
current path in transformed coordinates was to also support drawing with a
non-invertible CTM, like Firefox does, which is what Ian stated was the
correct behavior earlier in this thread. See why I kept the fix on the
backburner? :-)
