I managed to try this out on an older OS X build and couldn't quite reproduce your problem. I seemed to get files with the colour of the image all set to white when scaled to big factors, so I'll try to track that down and hope it's related. While I remember, there is one outstanding issue with printing when you don't use X-shared memory, this normally happens when you remote login to another machine. That does produce an effect similar to what you report. So are you ssh-ing into/from the Mac?
