You know that gv shows the whole paper sheet if %%DocumentMedia: is defined?
You have to select BBox if you want to see only the contents of the
bounding box. lyx seems to follow this rule, too (this is IMHO a bug, since
the printed output obeys the bounding box). If you don't want that, remove
%%DocumentMedia:. (I would not care too much, since the output is ok in
both cases)

It does not ignore the bounding box. Your bounding box does include all the
whitespace. If you change
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842
to
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 454 454
everything is fine. I got that value by using pstops, for some reason my
ps2epsi cannot convert the file.
