You are right: we don't produce %%BeginPageSetup comment.
By DSC specification, %%BeginPageSetup section is always
located after %%Page, and need not be present if there is
no modification in the graphic state; GhostScript issues no
DSC compatibility warnings about our code.
I admit however that we do modify the graphic state:
a setpagedevice operator is issued at the beginning
of each page, and for strict DSC compatibility
it could be enclosed in %%BeginPageSetup / %%EndPageSetup.

Surely. I will contact you off-list, and send you a patch for this.
Best regards,
