Yes, that's correct. Actually, apsfilter doesn't even try
to convert latex source (right now), so I guess a2ps
causes this problem. It has a built-in mechanism to
call helper applications to process various file formats
(these are called "delegates").

I don't know if that behaviour is enabled by default, but
adding "--delegate=no" to the a2ps options should solve
the problem.

Of course, you could also use mpage or enscript if you have
them installed.
