Description

I noticed a small bug where a raster mark throws an error if you use the data-less raster({ fill: (x, y) => ... }) form and include a tip.

Notebook: https://observablehq.com/d/aff3900cd6feec56

I'm not sure if this is a simple or a complicated fix since it looks like index comes up a lot.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure using the linked Observable notebook and the data-less raster({ fill: (x, y) => ... }) form with a tip. Trace the raster mark implementation where index is handled, then verify that the same raster form renders successfully with its tip and that existing raster behavior remains intact.
