Ah, you're right Gregory it is v.1.3.3.14 - my bad! I followed the link you provided and downloaded/installed that file, and Scribus found it automatically when I ran it next! :)
Incidentally, I found that gs871w32.exe also exists in the same repository where I found the zip file at http://ghostscript.com/releases/ , I apparently overlooked it previously... Problem solved!
