This bug is not resolved in fedora 6. Here's some new information.
With both kpdf and the Region & Language settings to Letter.
Open file in kpdf. Immediately do file print preview. Looks fine.
Print to pdf file. Fine: MediaBox [0 0 612 792] correct Letter paper size.
Print to ps file. Bad: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 842. That's A4. 

Now here's the telltale: after printing to ps file. The *print preview* shows
that there have been added extra margin space at the top and the bottom.
In other words the print preview is showing what kpdf and kprinter will really
do with the file when printing. There's been some interaction that has made 
kpdf CHANGE ITS MIND about how to print this file. That interaction happens 
when you print to ps file, but not when you print to pdf.
