Thanks for all the help Akira; I definitely appreciate it.
Unfortunately, this technique does not appear to work for me. (Did it
work for you on the test case? Perhaps I am missing a step somewhere,
or maybe you have a newer version of xdvipdfmx than the one I have
that came from Jonathan's installer?)
I've tried a few different permutations (\usepackage[dvipdfm]
{graphicx}, manually specifying the bounding box with a [bb = ...]
argument to \includegraphics, ebb with and without -c, and so forth)
but nothing's working yet for the test case.
