Let me extend your list.

post.trm (eps mode)   works correctly

Here, the labels are missing outside 1,1 (without my patch). The double
size is unexpected by consistent with other terminals as postscript. But I
also see this as a bug.

Here, the whole plot is there, but all text outside 1,1 is ignored. Using
my small patch (available on the www page), the epslatex plot gets
correct.
