I confirm on 1.40.10. Weird indeed. Seems that streams merging failed. 
Streams structure is awful, but looks ok:

174 0 obj
<< /Length 10 >>
stream
/SPIPa1 Do
endstream
endobj
175 0 obj
<< /Length 2 >>
stream
q
endstream
endobj
176 0 obj
<< /Length 2 >>
stream
Q
endstream
endobj
178 0 obj
<< /Length 10 >>
stream
/SPIPa1 Do
...
