Appears to be a bug.
Examining the .eps file in a text editor shows that ij is not in bold

Find "(ij)" in the file and edit the preceding

s/(Times-New-Roman)/(Times-New_Roman:bold)/

It is the only occurrence of "Roman)" in the file.

FWIW The first EPS rendering engine I tried to view it with didn't 
honour "Bold" at all (it has problems with Greek letters too) :(
