Poor quality ps -> jpeg conversion with newer imagemagick

With IM 6.2.8.0 on Centos 5.4 I'm able to convert following ps file:

to jpeg and get decent lines and text quality:
Using a newer versions 6.5.1.2 and 6.5.8.10 on Fedora 11/12 I get lousy lines and text quality:
Other tests show png -> jpeg with poor quality, ppm -> jpeg look fine. Interestingly, with recent IM, convert uses the pngalpha device for gs conversion, and pnmraw with version 6.2.8.0.
