Seems like a nice catch!

This pattern pops up in a couple of other places too. Why not make a helper called shouldUseOverflowClip() or similar - that would also be a good place to add a comment about why we only need to worry about clipping on layers that aren't self-painting, something from the Changelog in r41203 for example. I say this because I had to dig around a bit to find out for myself.

You also need to fix this function in RenderObject.
