I've found the specific culprit of my problem. I should have thought to
look at the actual EPS code created, but it didn't dawn on me until now.
The EPS code is writing nan's to the actual EPS file. This only
happens for my text objects and always follows the same pattern.

/Courier findfont 13.9875 scalefont setfont
()
nan nan M T

It appears that RSI attempted to update the EPS format in the move from
6.0.3 to 6.1. EPS files created with 6.0.3 show "%!PS-Adobe-2.0
EPSF-1.2" while files created with 6.1 show "%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0".
And the actual EPS code looks wildly different between the two. So, I
guess it's back to IDL 6.0.3 for the time being.
