The reftest harness caches canvases by URL, if they have no prefs specified.  Because the stylo changes to the harness add prefs via an out-of-band mechanism, they do NOT disable the caching.  As a result, if you have a reftest-stylo.list like this:

  == foo.html foo.html
  == foo.html foo.html

(which we have all over), then the first time we will load both things and render them with the prefs set and whatnot.  But the second time we will just hit the canvas cache (which has the Gecko rendering at that point) for both the test and the reference.  This will cause very confusing reftest failures!

We also have _tons_ of repeated lines like that in reftest-stylo.list files.

Fix coming up to make the stylo pref use the normal pref mechanism, which fixes this.

Bug 1341927.  Fix the stylo reftest setup to set prefs via the normal mechanism and hence not run afoul of the reftest harness canvas caching.
