The EPS files have some tricks to keep sizes small (load font files directly from the FS), which requires -dNOSAFER, and makes them more fiddly.
If you are trying to get up to speed with regression testing, you could try running the whole thing (baseline and test) with -dbackend=cairo which produces PNG files directly.
