 Upstream responded[1] that what you describe seems to be a libcups bug,
 and would affect all CUPS applications, not only libgnomecups, and
 hence should be dealed within libcups instead of being work arounded in
 libgnomecups.

 Do you agree with this?  I'm reassigning this bug to cups for now,
 please reassign it back if necessary (or mail me).

   Bye,
