I think this confirms my suspicion that the bug is really elsewhere. A path in PDF needs to begin with a "m" that sets the initial point, and that particular Path object only consisted of one LINETO operation. Am I correct in thinking that this is an invalid path? I'm not too familiar with Path (and I'm terribly busy today) but I think the way to catch this bug is to add a sanity check to Path, similar to the check in the pdf backend that produces that error. Then the traceback would show what code is creating the invalid path -- the traceback from the backend is too late in the execution to tell us that. -- Jouni K.
