not so -- looks like you are hitting aliasing problems. Your EPS file is 
only 10pt wide, and with Bounding Box parsing being limited to integers, 
it won't ever import correctly. %%HiResBoundingBox has patchy support, 
even if gs does the right thing.

I prefer to have EPS files about page size, natural size, and use the 
including application to scale them to desired size.

If you thought %%BoundingBox support/implementation was bad, OPI is much 
worse! Each application has its own interpretation of the standard.
