Apparently, yes, and a rather nasty bug.

I tried another approach as well: using "eoclip" instead of "eofill" to
define just a clipping area, and then re-drawing the rectangle and
filling it, which didn't work either.

So I'll have to print white text onto a coloured background.

By the way: using the "charpath" operator with a simple "clip" to define
a clipping area _does_ work as expected. Therefore the bug may as well
be within Distiller's "even-odd" logic.
