On a Ubuntu Trusty box I have ImageMagick 6.7.7.10-6ubuntu1 and here the "convert" fails:

till@till-twist:~/Documents$ convert file.ps file.png
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
convert.im6: Postscript delegate failed `file.ps': No such file or directory @ error/ps.c/ReadPSImage/832.
convert.im6: no images defined `file.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3044.
till@till-twist:~/Documents$

A direct Ghostscript call like

gs -sDEVICE=png16m -sOutputFile=file.png file.ps

and any attempt to display file.ps on the screen (gs, gv, evince) or to print it unfiltered to a PostScript printer works.

For me it looks like a Ghostscript problem. One would need to find out which Ghostscript command line is used by ImageMagick's "convert".
