I tried to take a look but, pstopdf in my linux box works okay (it
converted test_tex_r8216.eps fine also) and I'm afraid that I may not
be able to track this down.
Just in case, can you check if using a different distiller makes any
difference? I believe you're using a ghostscript (or none where
ghostscript is force for usetex=True). See if using xpdf works.
mpl.rc("ps", usedistiller="xpdf")
