Re: [Regression in 1.15] pdftocairo -pdf inverts image color in this PDF (#105294)

Has anyone had a chance to look into this?  Is a proper fix feasible
within a couple weeks (before I do the next 1.15 snapshot)?  If it's not
feasible and a revert has to be done, would one of you like to take care
of that or should I handle it?  I'll try to revisit this issue again
before finalizing the snapshot, at least to follow up with the revert if
nothing else is possible.

Thanks,
Bryce
