Dear Dónal, I, too, experience this, and have no real insight as to what exactly the problem is. It baffles me, as when I was using Snow Leopard Preview worked quite handily. I've occasionally been able to get variations in the odd output, but nothing consistent. I would report this to Apple, and urge them to fix this odd behavior asap. Yours, Zack.
