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.
[gwhite@cerberus TL2007]$ cat cont-try.tex
