My previous post wasn't quite honest. What I actually do is 

/MatrixOriginal matrix currentmatrix def
 ... ... translate ... rotate ... ... scale  /MatrixNew matrix currentmatrix def

Without testing, I thought these would be equivalent. But they aren't! Is this a bug?


Code:

%!PS

(\nMatrixInit) =
/MatrixInit matrix currentmatrix def
MatrixInit ==

(\ntranslate) =
MatrixInit setmatrix
100 100                        translate  matrix currentmatrix ==
100 100 MatrixInit matrix copy translate  ==

(\nscale) =
MatrixInit setmatrix
3 3                        scale  matrix currentmatrix ==
3 3 MatrixInit matrix copy scale  ==

(\nrotate) =
MatrixInit setmatrix
45                        rotate  matrix currentmatrix ==
45 MatrixInit matrix copy rotate  ==




Output: 

MatrixInit

translate
