I tested this. There is definitely something wrong with the
PostScript output. The first command that is called that does
something in the graphics state is 'cl', and this command starts
with a 'grestore'. So, there is a call to 'grestore' in the
PostScipt file that was not preceeded by a call to 'gsave'. The
result is the undoing of a 'gsave' in the embedding code.

I compared the PostScript code to the code that was generated
with another graphic that didn't cause any problemns. Seems that
what is missing in the defective code is a call to 'bp' at the
start. Inserting this command before the first call to 'cl'
fixes the problem.

Why 'bp' is missing is something someone else should figure out.
