If xdvipdfmx does the management then something like this
\special{pdf:obj @pgfpattern [/Pattern/DeviceRGB]}
\special{pdf:bcolor @pgfpattern [1.0 0.4 0]} .... \special{pdf:ecolor}
should work and add the pattern to the ColorSpace resource, doesn't it?
This would mean that pgf should adapt its backend code (and would need
a way to identify the xdvipdfmx version).
