This is a minor display issue, probably not Scribus or the GS version, 
but the creating application:

GSview 4.8 2006-02-25
play_sound: not implemented
debug=0
Unknown in Comments section at line 6:

Note this output this is gsview NOT gv, which is showing its age to be 
kind.

Further, importing into an image frame when it can be imported via 
File > Open as vector is sub-optimal.

The Scribus docs explain why gsview is the preferred EPS viewer over 
all others. (Note it also runs on Windows too.)

Cheers,
