We tested it on P6.1 64bits, and this Cairo crash seems to be gone. It may need more testing though. Is it thanks to P6.1 or the 64bits image/VM? It looks strange because it looked like a lib Cairo crash, but in the other hand the faulty C function did not appear to be called from Pharo image. What need to be done porting to P6.1, is mainly image shrinking, fix of several bugs from P6.1 impacting drgeo, working setup for linux/windows/mac. Still some job.

I had situation where the system libcairo:i386 does not work with Dr.Geo[1], Pharo crashes with what looks like a Cairo crash! Looks like not a Pharo fault, but I am definitely stuck.
It is problematic, it is a system (LinuxMint based) used in Geneva primary schools and Dr. Geo was expected to be used there:(

All these difficulties are good argument to get the appropriate libcairo/libpng shipped with the Linux VM, as done with Windows and MacOSX VM
Nah, in my case, there's nothing that can be lableled as "Pharo fault". It is definitely a linux/ubuntu ecosystem fault. - by not providing parallel updates for 32 & 64 bit variant of same library.
