This is usually done in the Render-Tree with a Push-/PopGroup-sequence
(to create the Pattern) - and in your case the Pattern is not used
for direct (tiled) rendering, but to apply a tiled Mask (to stamp-in
a different color finally, in a follow-up-step).

And "tiled rendering", using a pre-created pattern in cairo (as
a kind of Brush), requires to set its extend-properties usually to:
CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT

The code as in this screenshot (in the comments I repeated the XPS-XML)
http://vbRichClient.com/Downloads/CairoSrc.png

...produced the following SVG:

...which should match with the XPS-rendering-output.
