After further investigation, it appears that this problem is not
fundamentally one with CUPS - at worst it's a problem of interaction
between CUPS and libgnomeprint2.2.
I've now done some further tests and found that the symptoms described
earlier apply only to Gnome applications. KDE applications consistently
get the paper size right - for both local and remote CUPS printers.
Unfortunately I can't find a way to interrogate CUPS directly and ask
it, "What paper size do you think that remote CUPS printer uses?".
However as KDE gets it right, presumably the right information is there
somewhere.
I will raise a bug report against libgnomeprint2.2
