Today, while examining the way Ghostscript and pdftops operate I came (completely unexpectedly) across this: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694852 Your problem appears to be exactly described in the bug title. My previous efforts were focussed on exploring the reported behaviour in your environment. Printing babel-bib.pdf to a queue on a Jessie machine gives a duplexed output on my printer, which didn't happen before when the renderer was also gs. This outcome inclines me to suggest a closing of this report. Your way of testing could involve cupsfilter (the Debian wiki has a page on this) and sending a file with -oraw.
