Related: tdf#100925 background not getting set under X sometimes

not sure why this is the case, but it is reminiscent of rhbz#1283420 which
results in missing glyphs in some circumstances
X11CairoTextRender::getCairoContext has a hack in it for that problem, whic
forces a read from the underlying X Drawable before writing to it which seems
to have the effect of syncing it up.

So, just before drawing the bg, draw a glyph on it to get it synced, and then
overwrite it.
