Yes it can. It's reading the size as declared in the Document Setup  
--- change that to match the graphic and you'll then get things to  
match up.

Unfortunately you can't script Document Setup (at least I've not been  
able to using AI CS2), so you have to adjust every graphic by hand.  
Once you've done this though, you can change your pdftex setup so  
that it pulls in the .ai files (if you save your .ai files as .pdf  
compatible).
