testppd and *PaperDimension, etc.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that testppd (or ppdtest) only "sees" every other entry in a list of *PaperDimension, *ImageableArea, or *PageRegion statements?

If I have the following defined in my PPD:

*ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "9.0 7.0 605.0 787.0"
*ImageableArea LetR/Letter-R: "5.0 9.0 605.0 785.0"
*ImageableArea A3/A3: "5.0 9.0 835.0 1184.0"
*ImageableArea A4/A4: "9.0 7.0 588.0 837.0"
*ImageableArea A4R/A4-R: "5.0 9.0 588.0 835.0"
*ImageableArea B4/B4: "5.0 9.0 722.0 1025.0"
*ImageableArea Legal/Legal: "5.0 9.0 605.0 1001.0"
*ImageableArea Tabloid/11x17: "5.0 9.0 785.0 1217.0"
*ImageableArea TabloidExtra/TabloidExtra: "5.0 9.0 857.0 1289.0"
*ImageableArea 12x17.3/12x17 5/16: "5.0 9.0 857.0 1239.0"

I get the following out of testppd:

mask = f, keyword = "ImageableArea", name = "Letter", text = "Letter", string = "9.0 7.0 605.0 787.0"
mask = f, keyword = "ImageableArea", name = "A3", text = "A3", string = "5.0 9.0 835.0 1184.0"
mask = f, keyword = "ImageableArea", name = "A4R", text = "A4-R", string = "5.0 9.0 588.0 835.0"
mask = f, keyword = "ImageableArea", name = "Legal", text = "Legal", string = "5.0 9.0 605.0 1001.0"
mask = f, keyword = "ImageableArea", name = "TabloidExtra", text = "TabloidExtra", string = "5.0 9.0 857.0 1289.0"


I've tried this on non-EFI PPDs as well, and I get the same results, so it doesn't appear to be peculiar to our stuff.
