I've found the bug report #632182 which claims to address this
problem. So after the backporting from wheezy
(psutils_1.17-31_i386.deb)
pstops -b -w1000 -h1000 '1:0' small2e.ps | head
%!PS-Adobe-3.0

There is a duplicated DocumentMedia and BoundingBox
Evince and GV still report the paper dimensions set at 596x842
Best wishes.
