I've only looked at it in the sarge versions of a2ps and gc, but
they show the symptoms you described and are definitly a bug in
a2ps.
$ grep '^%%\(Page\|BeginDocument\|EndDocument\)' uc.ps
%%Pages: 2
%%PageOrder: Special
%%Page: (1) 1
%%BeginDocument: c.txt.gz
%%Pages: 1
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Page: (1) 1
%%EndDocument
The document says it has two Pages, but only lists a single one.
The second page is hidden in a document after the showpage of the
first page.

causes gv to show pages as one would guess them, so this definitly
looks like a a2ps book. (At least using sarge, but I'd be suprised
to have it so much reversed in sid.)
