Chris:

I had a similar issue, it was suggested to me to add "+over" to my epsg
definitions file.

Mine now looks like:
<4326> +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +over +no_defs  <>
<900913> +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext +over +no_defs <>

That seemed to make a difference, but I also upgraded PROJ4 at the same
time.
