Unfortunately, many of the TL target audience will have difficulty
avoiding buggy versions of gs.  Many *n*x users are strongly
encouraged to stick with the gs version their vendor provides (linux
users often get ESP ghostscript with CUPS).  Even if a user installs a
new gs, the print system may rely on the older version, which
sometimes has device support not included in default compiles or in
GPL versions.

I plan to check for this bug on the systems at work and file bugs with
the vendors.

It is better if TL provides pdf doc's that work with widely used
ghostscript versions, although the main doc should recommend  a
version that does not have the bug.
