Confirmed, this is actually a bug in the gl2ps library that should be
fixed when version 1.3.9 is packaged (untested).

Refer to the gl2ps upstream bug report [1] and patch [2]. As there's
nothing to be done in octave, I've reassigned to the libgl2ps0 package
which is still at 1.3.8.

Thanks for the report.
