(Get the code!)
In cups-filters one could introduce a filter named oldcairopdftopdf to be run before pdftopdf if the incoming PDF is from a too old Cairo version. One could introduce a new MIME type to make CUPS detect such PDF. The new filter would simply run this PDF to some command line progrem which regenerates it, for example Ghostscript with the "pdfwrite" output device.
Such thing would be really an awkward workaround, a fix in Firefox, Thunderbird, and/or Gecko would be the correct solution for this problem.
