Attached at least in a mail direct to you is a folder  with  
testgs.eps, testgs.ps, testxpdf.eps, testxpdf.ps as well as the pdf  
files
where successful. (matplotlib list won't let me send attachments)
The testgs.eps (for test with ghostscript) does not convert to pdf  
using either apple preview or adobe distiller (the adobe log is  
included)
It does however convert successfully with epstopdf so there is some  
subtle difference.

No with verbose set to helpful
With it silent only the "
:Error: No paper information..."
  part prints. tthe bounding box part does not
But usually helpful only prints something if there is an error or  
warning where as the
bounding box doesn't appear to be either.
