I was able to reproduce this on Windows. When you open the file with
notepad, you will notice duplicate lines just above the endstream:

BT
0.000 0.000 0.000 rg
/F6 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 262.94 18.52 Tm (m) Tj
ET

When you remove these, problem is gone. I would consider this a bug, but do
not dare to call it one.
