Which version of Ghostscript did you test with?

I noticed activity recently in the development sources related to 
encoding of PDF forms.  So if you are able to compile from source, try 
grab the bleeding edge code and test if that works.

If you are not able to compile the code yourself, then tell which 
operating system you work on - perhaps others differently skilled using 
same OS as youcan then help out.
