I am fairly certain the bug will also go away if you start your new
context documents with

        \pdfobjcompresslevel=0
or
       \pdfminorversion=4
\pdfminorversion=4
solve my problems with ghostscript at least from 2005;
from  8.62, gs has some problems with fonts and rotate last page 90 clockwise
or counter clockwise with some pdf .
gs 8.63 works only with
\pdfobjcompresslevel=0
(I mean, same problems of gs 8.62.)


as that automatically suppresses object compression, the number one
cause of ghostscript issues with newer pdf files.
Not only with pdf, even in compilation.
Starting from 8.62
I 'm not able to build libgs from source tree because there are some binaries that do not compile.
I must compile  ghostpdl, take these intermediary binaries  (echogs, I believe, and some others)
put them into ghostscript tree and recompile.

Funny, after all.
