You can send it to me or file a bug at the cairo bugzilla [1] and attach 
the files.

The EPS specification requires that the %%BoundingBox DSC comment be the 
smallest rectangle that encloses all the marks painted on the page [2]. 
Possible workarounds include processing the EPS file afterwards or 
drawing a white line around the rectangle that you want the bounding box 
to be.
