This is not just about cairo, but about cairo with xcb surfaces. It
was introduced in commit de614ec9, which is part of emacs 29. If I
understood well, previously, emacs + cairo used the xlib device only.

I'll write here again the link to the relevant discussion in the cairo
mailing list:

https://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2017-December/028491.html

Please do take a look. But to summarize: the cairo-xcb device is not
always destroyed when the display closes. However, the cairo-xlib
device is pretty much always destroyed.
