Ok, I've got it fixed. It's going to have to have an .sl3. in the name, but we have to do what we have to do.
What went wrong?
I built it on a new machine. This new machine is a SL309 machine, while the the original building machine was a SL301 machine, with only a few updated packages. I'm going to be pushing out the new rpm's, and then get out the fine tooth comb to figure out what really went wrong.

ie it is getting the buildroot path prepended to each of the standard (gs)
search locations.

I just rebuilt from the same (upstream) srpm
(ghostscript-7.05-32.1.13.src.rpm) and running gs -h on that binary
give me:
  ...
Search path:
    . : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib : /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/vflib :

    /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : /usr/share/fonts/default/amspsfnt/pfb :
    /usr/share/fonts/default/cmpsfont/pfb

as expected, so I'm not sure why the released one would be any different.

As I'm sure you know there are no obvious changes in the src.rpm files
which should affect this.
