Looks like this is crossplatform bug and it also affects d3d/ogl. So 
probably we can fix it on the upper level? validatedSrc/Dst/Data is 
stored the surfaces which were validated and ready to paint. from the 
first point of view we can change them to soft reference, and take care 
about null values. Note that such changes are 2d related code and should 
be reviewed on 2d-dev.
