I think so - but I fear the problem is between my ears.

As far as I see:
* your system (GMT, gs, ...) works correctly - the boundingbox is
  tightly adjusted to te large plot;
* my system crops the plot to a4 size;
* I mentioned that I made an CVS update (of my system) to be sure
  to have the most recent version;
* the bounding box reported by ps2raster on my system is wrong
  although it has the right values in the original eps file;
All this leads me to the assumption, that gs on my system makes
something strange...

ps2raster: Processing testa0.eps: Find HiResBoundingBox [45.9 51 595
842]... Convert to PNG... Done.

ps2raster: Processing testa0.eps: Find HiResBoundingBox [45.9 51 595
842]... Convert to PDF... Done.

grep -i bound testa0.eps

%%BoundingBox: (atend)
%%HiResBoundingBox: (atend)
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 3262 2128
%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 3262.11 2128.25

Confused,
