IDL 6.1 has some significant bugs in its EPS output. (I don't think the
behaviour you have described resembles any of the bugs I am aware of,
but still...) I understand these are to be fixed in 6.1.1, which was
announced by email on 2 October as a fix for problem in "reading
non-finite data in IDL 6.1", but will also fix a few other problems. It
is to be released in "a few weeks".

You should report this behaviour to RSI tech support, who may well pass
it on to Karl Schultz, the resident expert. Or perhaps he will reply on
the newsgroup.

BTW, I notice that RSI have advertised to fill a couple of positions in
quality control & testing. Interesting...
