I'm seeing a similar problem and I'm not using eps2pdf.

In my case the problem is caused by MATLAB's print putting embedded font information above the standard eps header (as pointed out by Rune and others), and Ghostcript not finding the bounding box information as a result (even the latest version of gs, 8.71).

This behaviour of print (I have no idea whether it is standards compliant or not) was in R2006b, but was changed in R2007b (and possibly R2007a, but I can't check this), fixing the problem.

For earlier versions of MATLAB I've incorporated a fix into my fix_lines function (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23604-fixlines) which will move embedded fonts below the header.
