For the record: I was able to solve this by setting my own clip 
rectangle in drawPageBorderWithSize:. I'm not going to post in any 
detail because it's all voodoo and you probably don't want to copy my 
code. (And because there seem to be interactions between scaling in 
drawPageBorderWithSize: and drawRect: that complicate things.)
