I can reproduce this bug with the current svn. It works correctly If you set dpi=72, but it seems that it would not be an option in your case.
It seems to me that this is related with the change in r6847 that Michael made. http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_ps.py?r1=6734&r2=6847 At line 431 of the backend_ps.py, clip = (0.0, 0.0, self.width * self.imagedpi, self.height * self.imagedpi) I think we should use the dpi of the figure, instead of the imagedpi of the renderer. Replacing self.imagedpi with 72 (which is the dpi of the figure when ps backend is used) seems to solve the problem. Thomas, I don't see any easy workaround for this bug other than patching the code. Others may have better insight though.
