1 gs SHOULD run without any +s bit, for any user who's allowed to
  run gs itself. As long as you don't view postscript to the VC,
  you SHOULD not need to set any +s bit.

2 Adding the +s bit SHOULD be safe, but there are no promisses.
 
3 I don't know whether it will solve your magic filter problems.
  Magic filter shouldn't want to write anything to the svga VC anyway.

The problems you quote seem rather bad -- could you check for me
(current debian gs maintainer) whith what parameters gs gets executed?
run (for example, write output of  "ps -axwwwwwwww" to a file)

Thanks very much,
