lack of a pdftex colour stack. dvips gets it right because it has a
stack which protects against colours bleeding from one page to the
next (almost all page changes in latex involve a colour change, for a
page number, if nothing else). yap presumably emulates the stack.
use the pdfcolmk package (on ctan). iirc, it requires pdfelatex, but
that's no problem if you're running a current miktex distribution --
it's probably the default anyway (since you don't provide details of
your system it's hard to be sure).
