It is a bug in gs 2.5. Should be fixed in the next version of gs.
It is doing exactly what you think - matching the width of the paper
to the width of the screen.
If you have a compiler and the time to recompile ghostscript,
change line 369 of gsdevice.c from:
double ratio = max(width_ratio, height_ratio);
to
double ratio = min(width_ratio, height_ratio);
