Sorry, I was offline for a while (broke my leg). I am now recovering
and slowly catching up. The laptop which had this problem won't be
back on the ethernet for another two weeks, so I won't be able to do
more testing. And maybe, since so much time has passed, I'd better
CVSup and try again.
Anyway, here are the answers to your questions:

Stock lpd, correct.

i386

It's a filter that I copied and edited a long while ago. It's based
on some example in the handbook, I believe, and it checks if the
printfile is PostScript. It then passes the PostScript file through
GhostScript, or passes the non-PostScript file directly to the
printer.

A couple of days before my report (around 6/15 to 6/18).
It all worked flawlessly up to the last CVSup, and then broke.

Yes, that was my impression after looking at the CVS log.
Thanks for caring, I will come back when I am completely online (at
work), if the problem still exists after a fresh CVSup.
