Unfortunatly, I'm not sure about this.
During these years I have discover bugs in pdftex/luatex but also in
ghostoscript too;
really, it seems that I have found another one this week in gs 8.63, but
not in gs8.62
pdf spec. gs, luatex/context mkiv are moving target;
three year ago the situation was a bit more stable.
