There was a gs bug (#688787 /undefined in /BXlevel) for this error, but in that case the pdf file really was corrupt although the user said it worked with Adobe Reader. I tried your first test on Fedora Core 5 with TL2007 (test inst iso from 20070115) which also has a gs-8.15 version, and don't get an error.
