Thanks, Radim, that was the problem. When you select Postscript in GIMP,
it gives you a dialog with additional options, one of those being
whether you want EPS. If you select it, the resulting file does have a
correct header, but is otherwise identical to the postscript file
created if you don't select the EPS option. Probably a GIMP bug.

With xfig there is no problem.
