Surface getImageData doesn't work in IE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi we have some problem with surface.getImageData() method with IE. 

1. Implement onModuleLoad in the following way:
    public void onModuleLoad() {
        Surface surface = new Surface();
        RootPanel.get().add(surface);

        surface.setStrokeStyle(KnownColor.RED);

        ShapeBuilder builder = new ShapeBuilder();
        builder.moveTo(0, 0);
        builder.drawLineTo(50, 50);
        builder.drawLineTo(0, 50);
        surface.strokeShape(builder.build());

        try{
            surface.getImageData(0, 0, 50, 50);
        } catch (Throwable e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

2. build and test in Firefox/Chrome - perfect
3. test in IE - nothing is appears

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We expect that 
surface.getImageData(0, 0, 50, 50); 
returns instance of ImageDataAdapter, but we have following exception:
com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError): Object doesn't

This is a limitation on IE8 and older, which is backed up excanvas.  Many of 
the canvas API will not work on older IE, including but not limited to: image 
pixel manipulation, shadow, clipping, video, radial gradient, etc.  These APIs 
are available on IE9, but there is nothing we can do on the older IE.
