Then I've found a CUPS bug. The relevant contents of the error log, in
its entirety, is:

E [11/Jul/2006:11:47:41 -0400] [Job 3272] No %%Pages: comment in header!
E [11/Jul/2006:11:47:44 -0400] [Job 3272] Print file was not accepted
(client-error-bad-request)!
E [11/Jul/2006:11:47:44 -0400] PID 12521 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/http)
stopped with status 1!

The *only* cause of the client-error-bad-request that is  indicated by
cups is "No %%Pages: comment in header".

If you want the input file I still have it saved.
