Please report these two cases in new upstream bug report and post links to them here.

Note that the "%!PS-Adobe-N.M" lines mark DSC compliance of a PostScript file (preparation sections and pages separated by special comments to allow page management). If this magic string (string in the beginning of a file to identify its type) is added to a PostScript file which is not DSC compliant, it can perhaps cause misbehavior, but I do not know whether this applies to GhostScript's bounding box calculation, so report the bugs upstream anyway.

As it seems that the success of the boundary box calculation only depends on how the magic string looks like, use the correct magic string in the meantime. If you have very many PostScript or EPS files, let a script correct your magic strings.
