this seems to work:

mark /OutputFile (broken.pdf)
(pdfwrite) finddevice putdeviceprops setdevice
showpage
mark /OutputFile (broken.pdf)
(pdfwrite) finddevice putdeviceprops setdevice
(broken.eps) run

note that ly:gs-api is actually also broken, but it needs much more
random coincidence to surface. You'd need a lilypond-book document
where the first file being processed happens to be empty.
