Oops, sorry. I seem to have solved it by converting the graphic to a
different format. Originally I used:

OvationPro version 2.76
!PrintPDF version 0.32
Graphic in TIFF format

but since my original post I applied the patch to OvationPro so it is now
version 2.77 and tried the graphic as a sprite. This time it has worked. Is
it likely to be the TIFF format which caused the problem?

Computer is Iyonix OS 5.09
