It might just be an oversight with the pdf from the printing path going
down the classic printing logic, while the pdf from export to pdf goes
down a render-to-canvas style route where the eps preview is taken. If
we can get embedded eps in the export to pdf route that'd probably be
far more desirable if you want to have a go at that ?
