Yes, I guess very much so.

For full page schematics, I use a "titleblock" symbol with two lines at
each corner indicating where the paper limit is and then exporting it
margin-less.
 Example:
http://aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/gschem/_graphical/A3liggande_s2.sym

In that case it doesnt matter if thoose corner lines doesn't show up,
since thay are there just for scaling, but with an eps included 
middocument it is really annoying if any content goes missing.
I had one that worked at -0.1mm margin, but when I adjusted the
makefile rule to 0.2 to accomondate another figure, that one was
clipped again even though the margin was set larger.

As a workoround I can use a margin of 0.2mm all around, but it is a 
trial an error thing.

My guess this is due to how cairo handles things, but don't know how
to verify that without starting to test it out.
