Found it!

On the iBook I get:

1 0 0 1 0 792 cm
q 6.5 G 20 w 5102.7 -1383.507 m 5102.7 -1825.846 l S Q
1 0 0 1 176.968 -182.585 cm
1 0 0 1 -176.968 -609.415 cm

And on the x86 FC4 system (which is probably using A4 paper, not US Letter):

1 0 0 1 0 841.8898 cm
q 0.65 G 2 w 510.27 -138.3507 m 510.27 -182.5846 l S Q
1 0 0 1 176.9676 -182.5853 cm
1 0 0 1 -176.9676 -659.3045 cm

Note that the iBook greyness, thickness, and (x,y) changebar coordinates are
all 10x higher than they should be. I manually set them to 10x smaller and
the PDF output was correct.

Does this mean that the iBook build has (for some reason) got the wrong
value for fixed_point_decimal? I'll take a closer look at the build system.
