Well,  \[ ... \] is equivalent to $$ ... $$ with some extra checking  
etc.

On the other hand, indeed, in your example something weird is  
happening, but you mischaracterized the problem by saying that LaTeX  
disabled \tt in math mode.

As for dvips, I never use it myself, so my solution is an escape:   
use pdflatex to get pdf directly from your code.

Indeed, why don't you use pdflatex, if I may ask?
