My etch gv seems to show everything on that page. I'm assuming this is
still the same problem though a milder incarnation as in sarge. What
does gs on etch with the options for antialiasing show?

This very much looks like the cause and like a bug in gs-gpl, thus I've
just reassigned this bug to the gs-gpl package.
