PDF to show the problem

pdftops (no options required) generates bad postscript for the attached PDF.
I tested pdftops 0.45.0 and some older versions and even xpdf 3.03 pdftops, and
they all generate ps that gets /rangecheck in --xyshow--
xpdf 3.02pl2 pdftops is ok, but it uses TJm instead of Tj and messes up fonts
with vertical positioning.
gs pdf2ps generates a valid ps.
Considering that the pdf is viewable by several applications and that gs pdf2ps
and old xpdf pdftops can both produce a valid ps, I think that the problem is
in poppler pdftops rather than in the pdf.
I thought that xyshow could get a rangecheck only if the number of xy pairs was
shorter than the string, but adding an extra 0 0 to the array of xy pairs did
not help.
The font is defined as /F7_0 /GBJUMM+PalatinoLinotype-Bold 0 pdfMakeFont16
