That link leads to http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693652 , which is a pretty comprehensive discussion of the issues with buggy interpreters. So indeed, this does seem like the problem here. The contrast between gs and pdftops in Comment 26 is interesting. Ultimately, I'd go with the simplest explanation; especially when the outcome is successful printing. Someone with more PostScript knowledge than I have might look deeper.
