Till, it seems like ghostscript upstream suggested that the /Orientation use is buggy there, if that option is used by libspectre should that be consider a bug there and should be changed to use '90 rotate' or such? Could you maybe investigate that/report a bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libspectre

(Just show an empty page.) [how to reproduce] 1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command. $ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;" 2. Open the file "test.eps" just created. $ evince "test.eps" The following are what evince writes to the terminal. (evince:24176): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed (evince:24176): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed 3. Then evince just shows an empty (white) page. === If i rotate 90 or -90 degree by pressing Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right key, evince can show this file correctly. === Okular, GIMP, inkscape and gs can show this EPS file.
