Confirmed.

There is a missing "gsave" in the output, at the location where
there used to be a palette reload sequence.  This makes me suspect
the change from 2006-03-18 that removed this reload sequence
if the palette was unchanged.

...yup.
This one line reversion makes the problem go away.
That doesn't mean it is the correct fix, of course, but it 
confirms the origin of the problem:

Can you look into this, Dan?
I think you were the one who suggested that optimization originally.
