The procedure you list did not work for me in either AI 8.0 or
Corel Draw 9. But I copied it (to clipboard) and read it into Corel by
doing Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile. It came out correct except
for one tiny error which could be fixed easily if I could remember
how.. (Obviously, this doesn't mean that the EPS file is correct.)
Corel is generally more robust than AI in doing this sort of thing.
