Why do you expect the PS device to behave as if it's 24bit,
when you're setting it to have 8 bits?

I'm not sure if the decomposed color scheme works with PS
even if you set BITS_PER_PIXEL to 24, though (i.e., you have
to go through color tables). David F. will probably come
along with the definitive answer soon, though :-)
