Microsoft implementation does NOT allow to use a disposed Matrix. What
happens is that before disposing it was assigned to Graphics.Transform
and we had a bug there at libgdiplus level that was causing the matrix
to be point it to instead of copied. Also, I fixed a few issues with
some dispose methods.

This should be correct in HEAD now.
