I have the stock ipe package on Debian stable (etch, of course, since last 
week) and it does not show this problem. But Debian offers two alternative TeX 
systems: teTeX and texlive. I am using teTeX, mainly through inertia, so maybe 
  ipe works better with teTeX than with texlive?

Hope this helps
