The Debian Sarge version of remind differs only in two aspects from
the upstream one:
    - It includes a patch against tkremind that replaces newlines in
      the MSG field, because those would destroy reminder files
      http://bugs.debian.org/75883
    - It fixes the %s substitution of the -k switch
      http://bugs.debian.org/306295

None of those should affect the PostScript generation.

I have tried it now on my Sarge as well as Sid box and both managed to
generate valid PostScript.

Could you probably try to view the file using a different tool (I've
tried gv) or even on a different system?

No, sorry.
