I can see that as a workaround only. But the current behavior is
not intuitive, not user-friendly, and direct reuse of existing
LaTeX files (that were working with latex + dvips) is limited.

I think that it is important that pdflatex does not truncate the
slides. The bug could be reassigned to tetex-base if you think a
missing feature is there. However, this could also be fixed in
seminar.cls (from the tetex-extra package), using similar code
to hyperref.sty or geometry.sty.
