I noticed the same thing with xdvi on an HP with gcc. (don't have the
model/version numbers with me). I did not check the old xdvi, however. I
never followed the problem up because it was going to be too much work to
figure out even whether it was a latex2e bug or an xdvi bug or a ghostscript
bug or an X bug....or some perverse combination.
Several related points that might help you:
You do not get the the problem with the graphicx package. So there is
something significant that is glossed over when the docs say "essentially the
same implementation".
\resizebox with graphics.sty will take {!}{!} for its parameters; this is not
documented. but it works.
The docs for graphicx.sty say that changing the aspect ratio by setting both
height= and width= is not supported. Maybe that's true, in which case I don't
know what supported means, but it works just fine.
Hope this helps.

PS I've been getting 3-6 copies of most tex-k msgs today also.
