Can you try to build gtk-webkit 1.6.3 and see if it works?

I experience a similar problem in which calling webkit_web_view_draw() with
a custom Cairo context would behave strangely since gtk-webkit 1.8. In my
case I wanted to save a webpage as a PDF with a Cairo context that's backed
by a PDF surface. Since gtk-webkit 1.8 the PDF is composed of a big
rasterized image and is no longer vectorial.
