rc('ps',usedistiller='xpdf') works, usedistiller='ghostscript' throws
up the same error (presumably that's the default? I don't have a
.matplotlibrc file).

I've attached the xpdf-distilled file. That workaround solves my
problem (and generates smaller and nicer eps files), but it's still
curious that ghostscript generates a faulty file. Perhaps matplotlib
should just use xpdf by default?
