I don't have this problem.

When you run fig2dev -Lpstex_t -p foo.eps foo.fig,
the pstex_t file is:

\begin{picture}(0,0)%
\epsfig{file=foo.eps}%
\end{picture}%
<the text commands>

Since we want to use graphics and not epsfig, the fig2pstex.py script
runs fig2dev -Lpstex_t foo.fig (without the -p flag), and then the pstex_t
file contains only the text commands.
The code \begin{picture}(0,0)\includegraphics{foo.eps}\end{picture}
is inserted into the main tex file by the inset.

It is easy to change fig2pstex.py so it will create the following pstex_t file:

\begin{picture}(0,0)%
\includegraphics{foo.eps}%
\end{picture}%
<the text commands>

and this is perhaps better than the current behavior.

I used foo.eps instead of foo.pstex because the latter might cause problems
if you change the graphics rules.
