The problem seems to be that the Canvas render object (RenderCanvasImage) has
not been created yet, although there is a valid DOM element. By memory, render
objects are not created until they are attached to the DOM tree. I believe this
is because the engine does not know how to provide the style information needed
to create a render object until it knows it's location within the tree.

So, although the getContext function will return with a valid canvas context,
no methods on that object will succeed until it is attached to the DOM.
I am not sure what can be done about this.
