It's more than just a bug in your implementation. The spec makes computing
the size of the buffer you need for enable-background really, really hard.
You could compute a bounding-box of the content in the element subtree
(ignoring clipping imposed by ancestors), but that could easily be absurdly
large, so you would also want to analyze all filters that are using that
background image to figure out which parts of the buffer might actually be
used.
