I figured out what is going on here.  

My scanner has these settings:

  Geometry:
    -l 0..215.872mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [0]
        Top-left x position of scan area.
    -t 0..279.364mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [0]
        Top-left y position of scan area.
    -x 0..215.872mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [215.872]
        Width of scan-area.
    -y 0..279.364mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [279.364]
        Height of scan-area.
    --pagewidth 0..221.121mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [215.872]
        Must be set properly to align scanning window
    --pageheight 0..863.489mm (in steps of 0.0211639) [279.364]
        Must be set properly to eject pages

the padwidth and pageheight give the physical size of the expected paper.  -x 
and -y are constrained within the pagewidth and pageheight values.  This 
scanner is sheetfed, so there is no concept of a physical scan bed that has 
a limited size.  The valid range of -x and -y depend on --pagewidth 
and --pageheight.  gscan2pdf seems to only be using -x and -y.

If --pagewidth and --pageheight are listed and a paper size large than the 
default is selected, the relevant --pagewidth or --pageheight should be 
increased to match -x or -y.  --pagewidth or --pageheight should never be 
decreased.  Alternatively, you could always set --pagewidth or --pageheight 
to the maximum.  As far as I can tell, that works.
