The postscript code lays in the Gutenprint driver. I'd think it is not 
well tested. The CinePaint part is only about the colour conversion and 
expects you to run basically with native output not PDF/PS.

So to create a CMYK Postscript file is not possible with this bug.
Alternatives are TIFF, eighter save the separated image as such or use the 
Save Tiff button in the first print dialog. Or use a native device 
driver. For Postscript currently bypass colour management with the Direct 
print option.

If you need absolutely colour management in a Postscript, you'd have to 
convert to Cmyk, 
than back to RGB, best sRGB, and 
print without colour management as Postscript.

I filled a bugreport to Gutenprint about the Postscript output.
