ok - at the risk of stringing this one out......
does the offending item interact with anything else? maybe a clipping path overlaps a mask somehow? If, like you say, when you move it, it is then ok - then maybe something else is causing the issue?
What I do when i get this kinda thing <and i just bet you've done all this> is simplify the file - i put certain element onto their own layers and use that as a start. I can then output every element - by layer if needed - delete layers as i go along - exclude elements etc. It does usually show up the culprit - IF its the file
If the file interacts with nothing else, there are no fonts in the job and absolutely no question of Indy being corrupt or permissions needing repairing or the usual stuff.....it says to me the image is crap <somehow>
its not rotated by any minute stupid amount is it? like 0.00111 - that can cause issues with some rips <as i'm sure yer aware>. perhaps the scaling <could be something mad like 75.000111%> is tripping it up? maybe adjust it to a full number scale as opposed to a fraction <75% as opposed to 75.001111>
also - with the clipping path - i've had times where, for no good reason - i've had to re-draw it. no big issue really but a pain. maybe open the image in photoshop, redraw and save the clip path and see if that helps, leaving the flatness box empty
gotta say - ya really got me intrigued on this one :? keep us informed
