This is already fixed. There is no such thing as '2.4', nor does PDF have a bounding box!
The issue was that for a short while the paper size of pdf() was defaulting to "default", the same as postscript() (and this was intentional). It is now the previous default of "special", and setting paper="special" always worked.
