OK, upstream actually found the problem -- the input PostScript file contains
a /setdistillerparams on its own, which then overrides whatever I set on the
command line (since it's executed later). Thus, GhostScript really works as
intended.

IMHO, this should at least be documented, and preferrably there should be an
override switch in ps2pdfwr. The following snippet makes GS ignore PDF
parameters in the input file -- change

  -c .setpdfwrite

into

  -c '.setpdfwrite /setdistillerparams { } def'

Should this perhaps be reassigned to gs-common?
