--- Comment #22 from Dave Gilbert <[email protected]> ---
As per comment 7, this is using PDFs transparency group feature, which is all
very complex; but in this case we've got two symptoms:
   a) The colour of the overlayed circles
   b) The big black square

My reading of the PDF code is that it:
  1) Sets up a graphics state by rendering a 50% black full size rectangle as a
softmask - that mask is marked with /S /Alpha - which means it should only ever
influence the alpha value.  This is marked as a transparency group at one level

  2) It then sets the current colour to a pattern consisting of the
filled/stroked circle - that's non-transparent; then does a rectangle that
happens to be filled with that pattern of the circle - which seems crazy
complex.

But somehow this pair marked as transparency groups is supposed to come
together as the transparent circles.
But the symptom (b) of the big black square is I think a screwup in (1) - where
the creation of that softmask shouldn't do anything except change transparency;
so perhaps we can cure (b) without fully fixing the group setup.
