The above problems are reproducible on my machine as one can check at
http://homepages.nyu.edu/~jmg336/mathematica/unwantedcropping.pdf
(Note that, for the first set of expression, the conversion to pdf also
crops the inset, so the pdf file does not display exactly what the
corresponding notebook shows.)
