I don't remember anything that severe in the RKRMs but I could be wrong :)

Anyway, I made a mistake in the original posting, you only actually use
InstallClipRegion from layers.library, which makes use of regions
(created using graphics.library) and are separate from dealing with
layers (although you need an existing layer, such as what a window has,
to use it). AFAIK that's the only way to do clipped graphics through the
OS.
