pdftops loses grid lines

Bug description:
We discovered that cups in lucid does not correctly print certain PDFs
when printing from the command line with lpr or as a shared printer
from preview in OS X. The same file prints correctly with cups on
hardy. This issue occurs with a variety of different printers.
I tracked down the problem to /usr/bin/pdftops by running the pdf
through the filters that cups does according to the log.
/usr/bin/pdftops is called by the cpdftocps filter.
This pdftops is installed from poppler-utils:
$dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/pdftops
poppler-utils: /usr/bin/pdftops
After running the pdf through each step of the filter, I opened it
with evince. After running through pdftops, evince showed exactly what
I see when I print the file.
Interestingly, if I print from evince or acroread, all the lines are
printed correctly. I think they are converting the file to postscript
themselves before sending it to cups.
I will attach the file that shows this behavior.
The pdftops provided by the cups package does not exhibit this problem.
$ dpkg-query -S /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
cups: /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops
