TIFF w/ alpha -> EPS doesn't work

I used the following command (ImageMagick 6.3.4) to convert a TIFF (with an alpha mask) to an EPS:

convert BigE-masked.tif eps3:BigE-masked.eps

The resulting EPS file looks corrupted, with alternating horizontal bands of opaque and transparent image. Here's what an opaque and a transparent image look like, side by side:

The original input TIFF and output EPS files are here:

We tried your command with the latest ImageMagick release, 6.3.7-1, and it works as expected.

Yup, this does indeed appear to be fixed in 6.3.7.

Thank you!
