http://bugs.debian.org/655762 is trivially reproducible with eps using
the steps outlined in the original bug report (substituting x.eps for
x.ps, of course).

The eps failure can also be resolved with a grestore at the end of the
DisplayImage definition.

Even if postscript files are not required to be idempotent, why would
you not want to produce idempotent postscript files where you could
(especially if the fix for each output format is a clean one-line change)?
