Some more suggestions on a possible workaround, from the cairo bugzilla:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31589#c3

-- excerpt --
If you want ghosted text rendered at 0.5 alpha, then just render the text at 0.5 alpha.  This avoids all use of the stroker. :)  There are likely other methods to get shadows or ghosted text suitable for you, not involving the stroker, so if using a temporary image surface isn't a viable option, then perhaps investigating those in the context of your app might be a way forward? Please drop by the #cairo irc channel on freenode or post to the cairo-l mailing list if feel like it.
